Hello everybody, i've just treated myself to four lovely little slings and was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice on raising/keeping them, these aren't my first t's as i've got two juvenile's but it's my first time with slings and i've read that slings aren't the easiest to keep alive so i'm just a little worried i'll mess up.
I'll list the species i've just purchased
1 x Brachypelma smithi (1cm)
1 x Brachypelma albopilosum (1cm)
1 x Cyclosternum fasciatum (1cm)
1 x Hapalopus sp. "Colombia" (1cm)
I've just re-read the sling care section in the tarantula keeper's guide and just wanted some reassurance on a few things
1. Are my slings big enough to eat? I've seen people saying yes and no online
2. I'm going to water them by keeping one side of the substrate moist? is that a good way of doing it?
3. Are any of the slings hard to raise? from what i've read online they seem to be pretty easy?
Sorry if this is overkill but i'd really appreciate the advice/help as i worry far to much
