I recently got a Chaco golden knee sling. he/she is only a few months old about the size of a dime i would say...maybe a bit bigger. I have had my sling for about three weeks now and in that time he has only eaten one cricket! i know he may be getting ready molt but i havent noticed any changes in his coloring. anyway i still offer him food every few days and if he doesnt eat it within a few hours i take it out. i have noticed that the crickets seem to irritate him...like he is afraid of them almost (i offer him pinhead crickets that are never larger than his body) so i started offering mealworms. my question is...and it may seem a bit silly ..how do i know if he is eating the mealworms? when i looked in today there was a mealworm corpse that was pure white. does that mean he ate it? or that the mealworm just died. as this is my first T im not really sure what the leftovers should look like hahah! any imput would be appreciated <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
