A well-balanced tarantula diet consists of appropriately sized live insects, such as gut-loaded (recently fed) crickets, mealworms, superworms, roaches. Some species may eat frozen/thawed pinkie mice, thawed/warmed to room temperature.
Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.
