Nice. Gonna be watchin the grass grow a while eh? I got 3 a while back hoping to get at least one female. All 3 are different sizes. I like to use mealworm segments for mine. Fattens them up without threatening or stressing them out. I also find crickets and fruit flies to be a pain in the...

Yes, it was an experiment with fruit flies. The culture is a bit smelly but the spiders scoff them down. When they get bigger I'll give them cricket legs

Fruit flies are great for stimulating hunting/feeding but they are not very nutritious, so make sure you supplement with frozen mealworm bits

Hi
I have tried mini mealworms and my slings don't seem very keen on them atm but they have all been raised on micro crickets and some may be in premoult too.So far 1st,2nd or micro( for my micro slings) brown crickets have been great for me and give me best feeding response.But they don't travel well in cold so have been a bit difficult to get them lately.
I will insist on the mealworms as are easier to manage even if I am like ninja with the them small tweezers now.lol
Regards Konstantin

I use a dram as a catch cup, then drop the cricket into the enclosure
