I put a de-headed mealworm in my slings enclosure every third day, removing the mealworm after 24 hours & I have no idea when they eat. Sometimes the mealworm is moved, pulled into a burrow etc, but a mealworm would provide several large meals for a tiny sling, so knowing if they have eaten or not, is something I have no idea about. Thus I just make sure they have a regular supply of fresh food. Mealworms are cheap & supplied in large quantities, so even feeding more often than needed, there is no extra cost involved. The way I look at it is, feeding the way I do, my slings have options & I check on them every other day at the very worst.</blockquote>
