The little one seems to be very chilled.
I disabled a large cricket, a meal fit for a king, and put it by him. The thing can do literally nothing but squirm. Therefore he's fine. He ignored it when it landed elsewhere in the cage because he's settled on one location.
Maybe with all the stuff overhead, he feels that he already in a burrow, which is what I intended on the first place.
The little guy hasn't dug at all and there is no webbing. Sometimes when slings don't web up, they start after being fed.
He has the option of waiting until the cricket dies or getting it when still fresh. My other OW slings usually got to them after an hour or so.
The advantage of doing this to crickets is that they stay fresh and provide some stimulation indicating life. They also provide a larger meal that wouldn't be safe any other way.
Enjoy the pics. Otherwise, he seems fine.
