I used to look at small slings people were uploading here and there , but i think mine's a bit smaller. I uploaded 2 pics and i want your opinion. Is it considered to be very small? my only concern is how i am going to feed it. even the smallest food ( small dubia roaches, that's what the pet shop owner gave me)  , seems larger than the spider. i chopped one in half and put it it. after  many hours and when the roach was dead, i saw my sling on top of the roach, so, my guess is that it was feeding. Then again, it is really small to tell.  i removed the roach the next day , i couldn't tell if a leg or something else was missing. how do you provide care to a so small and fragile sling? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> any tips about watering and feeding it will be welcomed!</p></blockquote><p></p>
