I was able to feed my Avicularia avicularia sling last night. It ate a Flightless fruit fly which I thought would be too small but I tried to pick a larger fly and it ate it immediately. Maybe it just doesn't like mealworms or roaches. Also the mealworms burrow into the substrate which doesn't work, and it wouldn't scavenge on prekill. Maybe it's picky, but anyway, I will feed it Flightless fruit flies from now on and see how it goes.
