[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 209849, member: 29323"] I feed all of my small slings de-headed mealworms & personally, I have never managed to workout if they have eaten or not. A small sling I assume has a small appetite & thus assume that a few mouthfuls of mealworm would be undetectable. Don't worry about slings feeding pop dead prey in for 24 hours twice a week, leave it for 24 hours & remove it. I use whole, but de-headed mealworms as they are large, easy to see & remove, so the enclosure is kept clean. And a tub of mealworms is cheap to buy & easy to keep for several weeks, if you top up the porridge. So why use something smaller? In the wild, they would feed on anything they found. [/QUOTE]
