Hey guys and girls.

I have a 1cm Acanthoscurria geniculata, so for the past two days I noticed it had not moved so I opened the cage and poked it to see if it was still alive it moved one or two legs, I though this is weird slings don’t usually do that when poked..So I thought maybe is really full after having a big cricket that it’s not moving. I waited another day and checked on it and same thing but even worse today I have 3 other Acanthoscurria geniculata slings and they fat and happy... so I decided to try and move it I thought it was on its way out and to my surprise when I rolled it there was a small piece of vermiculite hooked on the poor slings leg hampering it from moving.... so with a tooth pick I managed to free the sling and to my surprise it ran over my hand as if saying thank you :woohoo: :silly: so it looks 100% better, will have to keep an eye on it though... so my verdict is DO NOT USE vermiculite for slings 3cm and under... this is just my own new personal opinion.

and props to you for good observation! Glad you came right
