I don't think they're fast growing per se, because they are Brachys, but mine had a huge size increase with her previous molt 6 weeks ago. Grew an inch and a half from being about 1 3/4" and got her adult colors. She's actually in pre-molt now again I think.

How often were you guys feeding your slings? They do look beautiful when they are adult. Next t I want is colbalt blue. Absolutely stunning T's.

I offer mine every three days when they are tiny usually in the evening, I prekill their stuff as I tend to worry about them.
If they don't eat by morning I take it out and wait a day or so and try again.

I feed mine every 2 days to get them out of the sling stage. Some slings don't like live food/can be intimidated by it so you may have to pre-kill it.

I feed all my slings twice a week. Saturday or Sunday evening depending if it's the ex's weekend for my son to visit and every Wednesday. The A. Chalcodes is my largest, and will only eat once a week. She'll ignore any food given to her on the weekend sling feeding.
