[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 151050, member: 4947"] No need to apologize for not having top notch English skills :) The more you use it, the better it gets. Your message was totally understandable - I just wanted to make sure you were talking about the beetles and not anything else. And yeah, not everyone knows that tarantulas won't eat the beetles. That's also the reason why mealworms are often kept in a fridge - staying in cold will slow down their growth so they won't mature into beetles as fast. Since your sling is still small, it'll be best to offer just a piece of mealworm instead of the whole one. But truly, no need to worry for your sling not eating. If you keep offering it a meal once a week or once in two weeks, you'll see if it's hungry or just waiting for the best moment to molt :) I also know how unnerving it is to own a new tarantula, but you'll soon learn its way to live and will enjoy seeing it to grow!
