In the process of catching them out of the bag they come in from the LPS, I end up with a few cricket drumsticks. I like giving those to my slings. Those are small enough that you can tell if they've been eaten or not. I also feed my slings half a meal worm. You can tell if those have been munched on a lot of the time as well. Perhaps portion size might be your answer?All that said, I've moved water dishes and found live dubias and watered moss to have a b. lat come running out. I've also had a couple that either ignore or run from their crickets. Sometimes they are gone in the morning, sometimes they aren't. My thought process is, they are passing up food, so they aren't starving.</blockquote>
