Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nunua" data-source="post: 130864" data-attributes="member: 4947">I 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 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> 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.</blockquote>
