[QUOTE="entomology, post: 17757, member: 517"] Hi. if it were me i would rather put live feeders in like "forest roaches" small but not if they are up for a molt. crickets i find are the biggest culprits for attacking slings!!! pre killed and segments from decaying food is not good to leave inside any enclosure as it will start to harbor bacteria in certain temperatures and humidity. This is a given fact especially if you have worked in the zoo industry you will know this first hand and irrespective of the species. I do know of a few people do leave food inside but not for longer than a day which is ok but if left longer then u could experience problems.This is only my opinion from the years of working in national parks and specifically zoos where species are kept in an artificial environment. remember there is no rule book on animal husbandry but merely guide lines to which we can follow.
