[QUOTE="PKDW, post: 149878, member: 29127"] My Husband and I just got a B. Smithi sling a week ago and we are getting concerned. He/She ( Smithi as we are calling it or S for short) hasn’t eaten since we brought S home and just stays in the one corner of its inclosure. We took the advice of the pet shop we purchased S from and rehoused he/she once we got S home, we used a 50/50 mix of coconut fibre and soil. We sprayed the one corner as recommended by several sites and gave S a burrow, some fake foliage and a water dish. The shop said they were feeding it once a week live mealworms, according to them S last ate over a week ago. We tried a live mealworm and S almost ran away from it, after a few min we took the mealworm out for fear of it hurting S. A few days later we tried a dead mealworm after reading several threads from this site but again S wouldn’t touch it. We are so worried the poor little thing is going to die. Any help would be amazing [/QUOTE]
