Fossorial sling tub depth?

[WolfieKate]

So my 2 Eucratoscelus Pachypus slings were pretty tiny on arrival (less than a cm) and I put them in my standard sling deli tubs with what I thought was enough substrate but I realise now I should have gone deeper due to their digging nature. So deeper but not too much wider as they’re so teeny? I’m feeding them cricket legs. I’m in the UK, I usuallyy just home make them but i’m wondering if i should go bespoke?

Answering my own question. The spider shop sell the attached rearing cups which look deeper than your usual deli but i’m going to look around today.

Those vials will work.

Hello, I dont personally have that from spider shoppe, for my fossorial sling I got some of the beanie baby or figure display cases and put a few holes in it. My sling did well from the beginning it in. It is still in that closure and growing fast!

Personally, I keep all of my small slings in the same vials. Only moving larger slings to larger enclosures. I find that most slings are at least semi fossorial & around 1.5 inches of substrate fits in an average vial. I also normally add a very small artificial leaf or two, for natural-ish cover.

Thanks everyone. I had a look round town but saw nothing suitable. So leaving them in the deli cups for now but as one as already reached the lid in a week with substrate it has dug out am going to try and get a deeper vial or cup.
