Sling Feeding

[DalilahBlue]

I read a post recently about a person losing his slings to cricket predation. What do you guys feed your slings?

I am anticipating, when I finally decide on my specie(s) to acquire a few slings that are only 1.5 inches or so.

What should they eat? How big are pinheads? And where do you get them? I have only seen regular crickets at local pet supply places around here. Should I raise my own? I already raise red wigglers in my vermicomposting bin in the basement and don't mind trying such things.

What do you guys think?

Correction: The slings I am considering are 1/2 inches.

So, further reading on feeding slings mentions Dubia nymphs. How do you guys feel about those? Do you use them? Buy or grow your own? If you buy, where? Any good online sources? What about meal worms?

Dubia roaches are great! there are plenty of online suppliers. Or if you have a pet shop that specializes in Reptiles they probably have them.

Unfortunately we do not have one locally that specializes in herps.

Do any of you have an online supplier you favor?
