Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Jay" data-source="post: 128460" data-attributes="member: 27677">28th MarchI don't think any of the Selenotypus sp.2 ate chopped mealworm at all. I have been busy for the last week and haven't tried feeding them again, but will tonight. I'm not too worried as they really couldn't be any fatter!Phlogius crassipes 'kuttabul' wouldn't eat anything, I even collected mosquito larvae from my pond and fed still twitching mosquitos but it wouldn't touch them. After the little cricket chased it out of its burrow it just sat hunched and didn't move more than a centimetre all week. Last night I set up smaller containers for the new arrivals, but I found the little guy freshly dead when I went to rehouse it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />I received the replacements today and put them in their little tubs, hopefully they go okay, the only problem is pinhead crickets have to be ordered in advance and come Fridays but I found out yesterday there will be none this week due to good Friday. I will try these with fresh killed crickets and mealworm pieces. I won't buy from this seller again unless they offer a larger size, small is ok, but they're also very thin. Here's some phone pics, I'll upload better pics later. The coin is 2.75 cm, just over 1".[ATTACH=full]29095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29096[/ATTACH]29th March Fed all spiders crickets relative to their size, only the new slings took their crickets straight away.</blockquote>
