Well I think it’s eating I had 6 small crickets now only have 2 but I don’t see the red kneeThe care for a sling is just the same as for a juvenile but you could do with putting it in a smaller container. The general rule is for the container to be 2-3 times the legs span of the T so it may be worth trying to get hold of a deli. In a 12x12x12" not only will the T have a job finding its food but you will see very little of it.
Don't panic, we're here to help so don't be afraid to ask any questions.
well they sent me the wrong sizeI barely see my Brachypelma slings either, even if they're in medicine cups and deli cups. Slings are little bulldozers and love to burrow, so having a 1" sling in 12"x12"x12" container only makes it to disappear.
I also hope that you didn't put 6 crickets in a container with the sling, as crickets are known to be ruthless killers - They can easily harm even bigger Ts if the T is in premoult, so a small sling is an easy snack for them.
But I'm sure everything will go just fine. Just find the sling and move it to a delicup or similar size cup, and only feed one feeder at time to be able to monitor how the sling eats Brachys are slow growing but good eaters, so they're relatively easy even as slings.
Good luck with the small one, even though I'm not sure how did you get a 1" sling if you wanted 2"/3" one. Even when purchasing online, the sellers usually give a good estimate of the size.

I think your little one is too small for super worms. Best thing is tiny baby roaches or crickets right now, but only one at a time. Hopefully in a smaller container, you'll be able to monitor whether the prey insect gets eaten right away or not. Roaches are a bit safer in this regard.what's the best thig to feed your tarantula

Superworms are a bit large, you can use cut up mealworms. At let's say 1.5" you can attempt with superworms, just make sure to smash the heads with the tongs beforehand or else the worm will dig.what's the best thig to feed your tarantula

Well, that sucks. Did you complain? Like Enn said, small slings are usually cheaper than bigger ones and juvies. In understand if bigger ones were out of stock, but in that case they should've contacted you before shipping.well they sent me the wrong size
They have a similar reputation with tortoises and other reptiles, I'm sad to say.If you ordered from Backwater your lucky you even got a spider.... one of the worst places to order a Tarantula from.
