I fed my new 1cm slings small pieces of superworm about 4 days ago and they dont eat it. They might simply not be hungry, but none of the 3 (albopilosim, boehmei, a.geniculata)seem to have touched it, which made me wonder if they prefer crickets at this size?

I would highly recommend feeding them pinhead crickets mate. If you don't have ones small enough (at least 3/4 the sizes of the your slings) then just take one that is slightly bigger or the same size as your sling, crush its head so it still moves a little but is basically dead and put it close to your sling and they'll eventually find it and feed off it.

It might not look like they've eaten but they just need a little amount as they are slings at the moment. So pop it in for a day or so then take it out and do the same 2 days later.

@ Halfniak - you should search on the "search icon" there are a few threads about this feeding slings. im 100% sure ull find the correct answer there. Hope this helps.

thanks

I fed my sling baby roaches, and it gobbled them up no problem. It was fascinating watching something so small, grab a roach of similar size without hesitation.

Feed them wingless fruit flies!!
