[QUOTE="FaaFaa, post: 37692, member: 3497"] With each molt your T is growing. A larger T takes a little longer to recover from a molt. I have had slings go 3 weeks after a molt before taking food. The other thing to remember is that, depending on the size of your sling, the colors you may be seeing aren't dark pre-molt colors. With each molt a sling will get closer to it's adult colors. If your home is cooler this will also slow your sling down. I keep all my slings under the 2ish inch mark in a "Nursery" with a warmer ambient temp. Lastly, I just want to remind you not to bother your sling too much. A stressed T won't eat either. Offer food once a week. Your baby will eat when it's ready. :) [/QUOTE]
