[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 21010, member: 545"] Slings under 2 inches should be kept on damp substrate (you should not be able to wring water out of it when it's just right). Coco fiber is ideal. They don't need very large cages...plastic jars of varying sizes make great cages, just make some little holes near the top. They can eat live food, but it shouldn't be too much larger than their abdomens or they won't be able to tackle it safely. If you think it is too big, you can kill it first. Once or twice weekly feedings are ideal for slings, but they can go on just a couple feedings a month if necessary. They won't grow as fast this way, however. [/QUOTE]
