Message: <blockquote data-quote="m0lsx" data-source="post: 200345" data-attributes="member: 29323">I feed all of my small slings beheaded mealworms. Mealworms keep easily. I just top up the porridge & add a slice of potato for moisture. I behead because that stops them burrowing & gives the slings easy access to the inside. Another advantage of beheaded mealworms is they are easy to spot & remove. I put food into my slings & remove the next. I do this twice or three times per week.  I have no way of knowing if a small sling eats or not. So I give it plenty of opportunity to access fresh dead prey. And once the sling is too small for a vile, I give it small live food.</blockquote>
