Hello!

[chloe21]

I'm new to the hobby and have just got my first t (c elegans sling) I underestimated just how tiny it was going to be (5mm) and I'm a bit worried I might have put it in an enclosure that's too big, and I have a feeling it may be small enough to squeeze through the air holes.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

The sling might be able to crawl through the airholes of this enclosure. I would switch to a small deli cup with air holes made with a safety pin.

You can get small deli cups at 5 Guys near their ketchup dispenser for free.

That enclosure is too big as @Ratmosphere said it could get through those ventilation holes. I'm not sure if 5 guys UK does the delivery cups I've never seen them, what did the T come in though usually it will have been one of these, if it did just pop some holes in the lid with a tac and fill it with substrate.
