Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fuzzball79" data-source="post: 36029" data-attributes="member: 3190">I've only got 3 slings: My T. Gigas is probably the best hunter. As soon as it feels the movement of a prey item in its enclosure it starts stalking relentlessly and doesn't give up until it catches is. I shall be calling it Jason, lol.That said when not premolt (for a long time) my B. Boehmei tends to catch its prey in mid-jump and my GBB is only refusing meals at the moment,  it seems to be in premolt. Neither of my slings are keen on prekilled. The Brachy and the GBB eventually take it if nothing else is thrown in but the Gigas just ignores it completely. He/she seems to enjoy the thrill of a hunt.</blockquote>
