I feed mine by putting a small live cricket into the entrance of my versi's tube web. He doesn't always attack it right away, I rarely see him make the move but I've seen him a few times with a cricket in his mouth. Other times I just drop a live cricket into the enclosure on the bottom, the cricket will usually climb the silk leaves and end up close to the web, and my versi takes care of it from there. I've also tried feeding him large cricket legs, which he accepted. I keep my versi sling between 75-80 degrees F (give or take a few). I mist pretty much daily, and make sure his little cap of water is always full. His enclosure has plenty of ventilation. I hear some people like to leave their avics' enclosures bone dry, aside from a water dish and that seems to work well. I would suggest talking to @[USER=1070]Martin Oosthuysen[/USER], he seems to have raising avics down to a science and his enclosures are genius.</blockquote>
