[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 122744, member: 26980"] I've also disabled crickets. First, put the cricket in a container into the fridge, not the freezer for an hour, 30 minutes absolute minimum. Remove the rear legs with tongs or tweezers. You can decide to throw it in and as it thaws it'll move more and more until the sling attacks. Or, you can go one step further and remove all the legs on one side in addition to the rear ones. (Best if only a too large cricket is available) it'll wiggle for days but won't outrun or harm the T. I had to do this with my versicolor sling because no pinheads were available. It's not as gross as it sounds. The meal worms die after an hour or two with no head, not so with hobbled crickets.
