Few questions about my new babies

[Tara Russell]

How often should I should see them molt being so small also what should I feed them extra small crickets or small mealworms?

 

[HungryGhost]

At that age they can molt up to once a month for a few months. I would feed extra small crickets not mealworms. They're cute!

Alright thanks for the info and I know how cute baby T's ^^

Pinhead crickets

It depends on how much you feed them. When my slings were very small I power-fed them, or fed them nearly as much as they would take (roughly 1 cricket per day), and for some time they were molting every month. Once they're past 2 inches or so, this intense feeding schedule isn't necessary (or wise). The reasoning behind power feeding should be to get them past their initial fragile stage as soon as possible...although at the same time it's fun to see them grow so fast.

I've never fed mealworms, just crickets.

I kinda mashed some parts of crickets would they still eat it? I know I'm so curious when they're going too get bigger like juvi size ._.

Also how can they flip on their back if they're so tiny like this I'm sure their molt is going to be hard to find when they do how often did yours molt? Right now they seem very active and happy baby T's ^^

Was yours smaller than this btw? I know that's why I'm so scared of holding them right now in this tiny stage they look so fragile anyways their tiny black fangs are so cute ^^

I just gave them a all dead cricket I killed for them and I woke up this morning and they're gone and the PZB butt is huge all nice and full

Why thank you and raising babies is awesome and they've gotten a tad bigger sense last time ^^

It sure is awesome and very exciting. Watching them grow and go thru the different stages and colors are just amazing.
