My pink toe isn't eating

[Star8527]

I put the roaches in the bottom and figured she would come down to eat but she never does she just hangs out on her wood. She seems happy moves about it but I wish she would eat. She is a cute lil bigger.. For the record if any of you remember when I first got her two weeks ago she jumped out at me. She scared the crap out of me. You were right once she settled in I haven't had any jumping issues with her. I am going to attach to photos the first is her tank set up the second is her chilling on her wood.. She is little..

That's a pretty big enclosure for such a small sling.

Agree with chubbs !!!
I think the reason it's not eating is due to being in to large of an enclosure, u need to remember Ts don't have good eye sight !!!
Try down sizeing the enclosures &see if it makes a difference.

P.s not all Ts will take roaches !!!

Looks like she is the size to be eating flightless fruit flies. try some of those. and put her food in front of her to make sure she knows its there.

Why use fruit flies when you can just use small cricket? They're more nutritious and less of a pain to deal with.

some of mine wouldn't eat crickets when they were very small. even if i prekilled them. had to get flies.

 

[Chubbs]

I still wouldn't suggest flies as a staple feeder.

@Chubbs
fruit flys are one of the best staple feeders for slings !!!

Actually crickets are.

Fruit flies aren't really that great. They're not very nutritious and I've read that they have an amino acid deficiency which can lead to molting problems. How true that 2nd part is, I don't know for sure, however my point still stands regarding their overall nutritional value.
