Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Bario Bat" data-source="post: 214247" data-attributes="member: 38733">I would like to thank you all for the great advice. I was doing no good service to the slings at all, was not my intentions but none the less it was me at fault. Misting, too big of encloser, unintentionally starving them because of the size of the husbandry. A huge lessoned learned here. I will take all the advice given above and apply it to my next attempt at slings of that size. Raising T's from 1" and above I have had great sucess as I have raised many to adulthood and they have lived for 15 years plus. Huge difference from 1/8 sling to a 1" or better 'T for sure. I have never tried to raise a 1/8 to 1/2 sling before.  I wonder how the sellers keep up on all those slings they raise to that size in those vials? Must be tons of work.Once again thanks for the great advice</blockquote>
