Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 14104" data-attributes="member: 545">I've had my versi and genic slings about 2 weeks now. Both have been eating very ravenously, until a few days ago. I feed my crickets dry oatmeal. Before killing them, I put them in an empty container and shake them around to sort of daze them. When I dump them in, some of the oatmeal makes it in as well, so the crickets emerge with a light coating of oatmeal powder.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Would the oatmeal cause my slings to reject the crickets? They were accepting them before the oatmeal came into the picture. I'm not worried, it hasn't been that long since they ate. I just thought slings were supposed to have tremendous appetites. Or could they both be approaching a molt? Thanks!</blockquote>
