    sling feeding

    How often should or can I feed my sling? Its a p.cambridgei and has eaten every 2 days since I got it. Super quick to come and snatch a cricket everytime. Lord knows I wouldn't want to over feed or cause any issues or molding in the enclosure due to uneaten crickets.

    A Simple Feeder Set Up

    In my experience this is a simple set up that works for breeding mealworms and roaches, and for keeping and growing crickets. If you have other methods or tweeks on this method please add them to the thread. Obtain a Critter Keeper or similar, or a tub with a lot of ventilation. Pour in a...

    *Stupid questions from a newbie*

    Soooo I've had my T for three days now... Yes, I know, that's too little time to start worrying like this. But still. Better soon than later :D Today I tried to give it a mealworm and it rejected it. I've seen that people say you should feed them when their abodmens look small, and honestly I...
