[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 227734, member: 29323"] I feed all of my smaller slings mealworms that I behead. As mealworms that are put in whole burrow & then tend to resurface as beetles. So I cut the head off. A beheaded mealworm will still move for around 24 hours & any mealworm left in for more than 24 hours tends to go mouldy. Cutting the head off a mealworm gives your sling easy access to the mealworm. At an inch your sling will probably take very small crickets. But crickets do not keep as well as mealworms. Plus they grow. So they are more expensive, especially if you only have one sling to feed. [/QUOTE]
