Hey guys, I picked up my first spiderling/sling yesterday, just was looking for as much advice on keeping it healthy as I can, I gave it a prekilled medium cricket approximately as long as the Ts legspan and it didn’t seem to finish it just ate half how often should I do this or switch it up to pinheads? the spiderling is P. Rufilata

I feed my slings deheaded mealworms & I feed night one, remove it on night two, then feed again night three. Mealworms are very cheap, usually do not all get used & I find it a reasonable method of having fresh food available when they want it. It also means I check my slings regularly.
