Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phil" data-source="post: 171529" data-attributes="member: 4151">did you have any moult history from the last owner/store?The colours are very pink so may have recently moulted. If that's the case, several days is always recommended before offering food (5 to 7 days normally)The abdomen in the pics shared when I have zoomed in does not look overly skinny to me. If there is webbing or areas on the side of enclosure, put a few drops of water for the sling to drink if you dont already have a cap with water.Apart from that, follow what [USER=1]@Josh[/USER] has already advised. And don't overly wet/mist the enclosure.Hope that helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
