[QUOTE="MrKrowe, post: 152691, member: 28893"] Conventional wisdom for communal slings is that you give them as little space as possible so that they remain in contact with one another and don’t create an area which they have to defend. M.balfouri do seem to gravitate toward one another so you might not have this issue, but when you are talking about slings smaller is always better. Easier to manage, easier to find food, easier to hydrate ... just easier. If you have very small slings then the maximum size container you use should be a 16oz deli cup. Just to qualify this, I have a four piece communal (and also a M/F pair for breeding). From my observations this species thrives in a communal setting. [/QUOTE]
