Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fuzzball79" data-source="post: 35473" data-attributes="member: 3190">My Boehmei sling is a slow grower. Ive had him for about 3 months (+). At the start he ate about 2 cut up mealworms then made a burrow, stayed in there for about a month without eating, molted and eventually came back out.After that he had about 3 tiny crickets within a week, went into his bottle cup hide, that I'd put in after his molt, so he didn't need to dig in again, sealed it off bar for one emergency exit (my peep hole, lol) and has stayed in there for a month now, again not eating. I occasionally see his bottom, so I know he's not losing weight or looks dehydrated. That spider is really teaching me patience, lol (sooo hard).</blockquote>
