[QUOTE="Volkswachter, post: 182840, member: 34028"] Exactly this. For my slings I do this. For anything <1/4" in size, I put half a small mealworm into each pill bottle and remove any uneaten bits after 24 hours For anything between 1/4"-1/2" I break the mealworm in half and throw both bits in and let them scavenge for 24 hours For anything 1/2"-3/4" I just crush the mealworm's head a little bit so it won't burrow as quickly And for anything 3/4"-1" I just chuck mealworms at them; preferably big, fat, plump ones on the verge of mutating into that weird gooey stage between the worm and beetle. I follow this regiment for all my slings twice a week. Monday and Thursday/Friday After my slings are around 1-1.5" I transfer them to juvenile enclosures and start them on mid sized crickets.
