Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gavin van den Berg" data-source="post: 33234" data-attributes="member: 2671">Hi Payden,I usually feed my smaller T's once a week, but I know that some T owners feed them twice or even three times a week. It's definitely not wrong to feed your little one once every two weeks, but it does mean that he/she will grow a lot slower than other T's. This probably accounts for the sac mate molting way sooner than yours.The enclosure you have is fine, but I would suggest adding a plant or some cork bark for the T to use as a hide, it would also help prevent a fall that could injure your T.<a href="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/members/martin-oosthuysen.1070/" target="_blank">Martin Oosthuysen</a> (Site Moderator) has a tried and tested enclosure for Avics. You can find more info on these DIY enclosures in the link below. It's not Martins initial post but it refers to the same enclosures.<a href="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/a-versicolor-sling-enclosure.3026/" target="_blank">http://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/a-versicolor-sling-enclosure.3026/</a></blockquote>
