[QUOTE="InternetSwag, post: 157653, member: 29365"] Hi guys, thus far all of my 10 slings have eaten, except for 2. One is really small, my smallest T I have. It is a L. Klugi. I got him on 24/07. The other is my Smithi, who I also got on 24/07. My Klugi kind of just sits around in his burrow all day doing nothing. Sometimes moving. My Smithi however, just roams around a bit on top of substrate, but he never eats. He looks very skinny compared to my other slings. I have tried feeding them, live, prekilled and slightly squished roaches/pinhead crickets. No dice. I always need to remove the moldy food 2 days later. All my other slings ate at least once. I feed them usually every 4-7 days depending on how I feel. They all have water dish. So if a sling is in premolt how long does it stay like that? Though I don't think they are, especially the Smithi - coz he looks so small. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Zewtgim.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for potato quality pic, I can't get my phone to focus on him. His abdomen is about the size of his body. Compare this to my Rosea [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/P6g8EbS.jpg[/IMG] So when should I worry? A month? Two months? [/QUOTE]
