just thought id pop in about some questions ive got on my new slings. the 1" suntiger doesnt seem relaxed, noticed it going round and round in the container sometimes falling, seems pretty restless. i just added a hunk of moss to possibly get it to make a burrow of some time and to get established, just trying to keep it dark warm and humid. any suggestions on helping it get more comfortable in its digs? also, what signs will lead to a molt? it did not eat the cricket but noticed it was munching on a cricket leg...
the 1" giant white knee has quite the appetite and is the easiest to care for. just ate 2 crickets at the same time, has burrowed. i feed it daily try to keep offering food at all times, will this process help it grow faster? any down sides?
the teeniest one is my 1/4" brazillian salmon, it is still in its vial with a 'tunnel' so to speak, its the hardest to feed because once a cricket runs in it gets intimidated and tries to run out. i was also thinking of placing it in another container that was more horizontal like the white knee's. could this help with feeding. dead/injured crickets are not working either. but it has ate once. i think it just gets freaked out. also at that size i would imagine even a pinhead would be a good meal, id like to powerfeed but after one meal when could i expect it to want another? thanks for all the tips!
