[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 173889, member: 29323"] Personally I have never worked out how to tell if a tiny sling is eating, simply because something that small will eat so little. My feeding regime for slings is. I feed deheaded mealworms. Leave them in for 24 hours, remove them & then the next evening start all over again. I currently have 13 slings small enough to need mealworms plus 2 small scorpions. So a tub of mealworms does not ever get used, even the way I feed. I have some 1cm (sub half inch) slings for over 6 months. A johnnicashii & H chilensis & it seems to be a system that works for me. But as I said, I have no idea which slings eat & which do not. I just make sure they have fresh food available 3 days a week. Tonight I popped a couple of deheaded mealworm beetles into a couple of slings enclosures, for some variety. [/QUOTE]
