If the sling makes it through the molting process itself some key indicators of a bad molt are mishaped legs, legs all different sizes than should be, and your once trying to devour anything in sight baby runs from any food! Have had all these situations arise from bad sling molts. Unfortunately it's a part of this hobby we dread and hate but it happens. It sucks even more when it's an expensive sling! Pokies ain't cheap. I still beat myself up notheless but really sometimes it is just the law of averages! Not all slings will make it sad as it is. My condolences.</p></blockquote><p></p>
