[QUOTE="R.NUTT, post: 39046, member: 3537"] If I am wary that the sling may be pre molt I simply don't feed them as regular and then offer a dead cricket. This way the sling will most definitely have no troubles taking the cricket and if it doesn't want the cricket I simply tweezer it out or leave it laying in there for a while. My King baboon sling has a habit of letting dead prey sit in its burrow and then eating when it feels ready. Make sure you drop the cricket where the tarantula can feel it though that way it will instinctively still strik the dead crick as though it was alive. [/QUOTE]
