Message: <blockquote data-quote="DalilahBlue" data-source="post: 1986" data-attributes="member: 375">Well, tonight I went ahead and fed the tiny B. vagans (who has been burrowed for 2 straight days and I haven't seen him.  I know this is normal but I am a new momma here and it is killing me!!!), N. chromatus, and A. geniculata some flightless fruit flies.  Not sure feeding the FFF's is going to work out.  The babies don't seem to notice them, or get freaked out when one tries to crawl on it.  Should I switch to chopped up crickets if they don't go for these?  I was figuring smaller live food would be better than larger bits of scavenged food but from what I am reading it seeming most slings ARE scavengers not hunters.  Thoughts? Giving the L. parahybana another go at a half cricket as she seemed much more active tonight.  G. pulchiripes is sitting happily in his enclosure. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
