Yep, they are generally opportunistic and can be quite brazen. But most of the time they'll go after easier, smaller prey.

I used to have a goliath birdeater and it was entirely fed on crickets. We tried a baby mouse once, but it was a huge mess to clean up and they don't need nor prefer it.

Theridiidae are usually the most notourious for catching much bigger prey.
