There was a power outtage last night, and the crickets in my feeder setup froze to death. I don't know when I will be able to get more, but it might be several weeks.
Personally I wouldn't leave it a several weeks I'd try and think of an alternative food source untill you can get crickets,locust or roaches. The only food source that might be available and could be of use would be something from a fishing bait shop like maggots or bloodworm of course they need to be bred on site and not collected for obvious reasons and they may not contain all the nutritional value the sling needs but they will contain some to help till you can get better suited foodThere was a power outtage last night, and the crickets in my feeder setup froze to death.

+1Just order some food source from online, mealworms are always good as they're easily bred and feed a wide range of sizes.
What was the DLS of that T? And what temp was it at, as that affects their metabolism tooHow long they can go without food depends on the metabolism of the species, but I very much doubt your slings are gonna starve in just a few weeks either way. When one of my G. pulchra slings got really fat I decided to stop feeding it till it either molted or slimmed down a little. 7 months without either and I gave up and went back to feeding it.
Wow, I'm surprised at how long it went w/out food at that size and temp too, impressive.A little under an inch, I keep it at about 77F most of the year.
slings will eat dead prey,,, are they too frozen or rotten?There was a power outtage last night, and the crickets in my feeder setup froze to death. I don't know when I will be able to get more, but it might be several weeks.
do you think an H.Pulchripes that is around 1inch-1.5 inches can survive a month while shpping?A little under an inch, I keep it at about 77F most of the year.
1 month shipping? No, simply because the wet towels will be dry and ur T will be dehydrated.do you think an H.Pulchripes that is around 1inch-1.5 inches can survive a month while shpping?
