Message: <blockquote data-quote="rénee" data-source="post: 58391" data-attributes="member: 4153">Im just curios as to how often and how much and what is best to be feeding a sling. When i got it the lady told me to feed half a meal worm every 2-4 days.The sling is about the size of my fingernail. I know obviously crickets and super worms are probably out of the question right now, but how do i know when to start upgrading, i think i read somewhere that you generally feed them something that is about the size of their body(not including legs). If that is the case then how often. i heard slings can be piggies haha, so should i just drop half meal worm daily and if it isn't eaten within a few hours just take it out and try again in a day then?Thanks, and P.s for anybody who is curios as to how its doing in the new enclosure- it seems to be doing good, as of right now its just chilling on the leaf <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
