New Sling mom

[Shotgunttarmom91]

I am a new sling mom, I've owned tarantulas before (adult ones though) I've got my sling set up and I'm not sure if she/he is big enough for a cap of water, and I have gotten it to eat (only had it now 2 days) that and in my excitement I forgot what it is. Lol pics of it for "tax" second pic shows about how big it is

Congrats on your first sling. A small water bowl will be fine, tarantulas don't drown.

Okay thanks I was super worried about that

How big of prey should I offer? I feel small crickets maybe too small

A rough guide is that the food should be around the size of the tarantulas abdomen.

You also can give her 3 or 4 smaller crickets. They like to collect smaller pray...

Cool because I was worried I dropped 2 in with it last night and I though I may have over fed it because both crickets were gone

Nope. If you watch after you drop them in you can see how excited she is catching them.
