Slings harden up quicker than bigger spiders. I wouldn't leave food in with them because they are particularly vulnerable post-molt. Best to just let them do their spider-yoga in peace as they harden up.Two weeks without food for a tarantula isn't a big deal at all. If you get looking around, you'll find folks here who have gone months between successful feedings.</blockquote>
