I want to start by saying thank you to this community. I've been reading through post after post of people helping and sharing on every level of the hobby. I have never been an avid collector but I have had 4 Ts. My first two recently passed. My other two are quite happy a. Avics. I've settled down enough now to where I wanted to branch out. I made a wish list on a site that came highly recommended and was going to research. I do own The Tarantula Keeper's Guide. Anyway, my wife bought me most of the wish list for my birthday... I got them all today. I put them in the enclosures I had for slings (they are al very small) that I had ordered some time ago from Jamie's. I got an A. Urticans, B. Albopilosum, B. Vagans, L. Parahybana, Red g. Rosea, and P. Murinus (obt). I am aware of all of these species special requirements, behaviors, and dangers (looking at you obt). My questions pertain to general sling keeping. I have access to my own dubia colony. I have crickets as well. My a. Urticans and b. Albo ate a small cricket tonight. I'm going to try a super small cricket for my obt and rosea sling. My lp is so small (1/2 inch ) I was thinking flightless fruit flies but never fed them. I'm sure someone has experience thru would be willing to share. My lp instantly hid in a piece of cork bark. How often does everyone mist? I came home to see my a. Urticans having left a cricket webbed to the side of the enclosure. What is the deal with that? Any other advice etc is appreciated!
