Remove the chunk if it's still visible after 24 hrs, whether the sling has eaten from it or now.Like as been said, the right size live prey will be no larger than the T's abdomen, as a rule of thumb. Some species/slings will take larger food items and some will run from too large a food item. You can't go wrong with smaller vs larger.Good luck and don't be scared of your T slings. Be mindful of their speed and agility. When they get older/larger, it's a different kind of mindful, but should never be fear.</blockquote>
