With smaller slings (<1") I like to include a bit of damp moss, especially in the winter. Let your spood acclimate in a calm spot in your home and then take a shot at offering food. Depending on size, I would go with a mealworm (head snipped off) or tiny cricket. If it doesn't consume it in 24 hours, remove the feeder insects. Also, don't worry if your spood goes MIA for a bit. Sometimes they burrow or hide for weeks after rehoming. Just keep the humidity appropriate and a water bowl.</blockquote>
