[QUOTE="Will-batayte, post: 140809, member: 28525"] Ok so I am currently feeding my G. Pulchra 1"sling pinhead roaches. They are about 4 to 5 millimeters in length. The T. Is housed in a juvenile acrylic enclosure that's 4x4x5inches. Inside I have coconut fiber, a tiny cork bark hide (which I buried to look like a little cave) a piece of fake plant and a bunch of tree moss scattered around on the substrate. The sling pretty much dissapears into the background of the moss when not moving because of the natural camo. So as you can imagine a pinhead roach becomes absolutely impossible to find if it's not moving. So I gave the first roach yesterday and I didn't observe the sling feed. For a while I would see the roach here and there and know it was still running around alive. Since then I haven't seen it. So anyway my question is this. Everything I've read says to remove uneaten prey after 24 hours. The problem as I'm sure you've guessed is how does one remove something one can't find or even know if it's been eaten. Also in the next feeding I was intending to just add in another orach if I don't come across the first one. Is this a good method? Any ideas? Should I possibly remove most of the moss to make easier both my job and the T's hunting [/QUOTE]
