[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 130218, member: 26980"] Sometimes for a small T in a big cage you have to implant the feeder into the web so that it can be found within a reasonable amount of time. I went through that with my Versicolor who was just a half inch sling when I got him. Eventually I found that disabled chilled crickets placed into the web allowed the spider to eat even though the cricket was larger then the T. As the cricket warmed up and became mobile slowly, the T would attack and feed before the cricket was active enough to fight back. I had to remove both rear legs and all legs on one side for what seemed like forever. The growth was quite fast which put him into a much stronger position in life. Only small fruit flies were the right size. 2 inches is a lot easier to deal with but you can still see most of the growth yourself. I love doing slings but the real little ones can have real big problems. [/QUOTE]
