Hi guys,
I'm a first time T owner and I have a P pulcher sling that hasn't eaten yet (my b boehmi and cyriopagopus have both eaten). I received it on 9/13 and I have offered small injured crickets to it and he/she hasn't shown any interest. As in, gotten close enough to touch the injured cricket in his/her web and just went, "meh, I reject your offering" and slowly sauntered off. He/she seems to be settling in ok otherwise (webbing at the base of the twig/cork but not webbing up high). In one photo I had wet the substrate and he/she looked like he/she was eating the substrate (drinking, I presume). I apologize for the potato camera but hopefully y'all can maybe comment on her appearance (healthy? skinny? etc) .
Based on responses to other sling threads on here, I think I just need to keep doing what I'm doing. However I have a work trip coming up next weekend and I'll be out of town for 11 days. So I can't help but wonder if there's more I should do. Should I try to find/buy and cut up some super worms? Or wait for let her/him get hungry enough to eat crickets? Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks in advance!
