Message: <blockquote data-quote="DalilahBlue" data-source="post: 3976" data-attributes="member: 375">Slings are typically scavengers.  You can leave cut up crix for meal worms for them and they do fine.  Don't worry about them not being eating machines.  After a move to a new home or other stress it may not eat for a week or more.  Also, if a moult is pending, it may not eat.  Sling's moult more frequently so this may be the case.  So step back, offer food every few days, and promptly removed any uneaten bits after 24-48 hours even if it is untouched.  Keep in mind too that you need to monitor the humidity levels, but spraying the cup every few days with a spritz of water should be fine. Good luck and congrats on your new T!</blockquote>
