So I've been having moderate success raising my Tiger Rump sling (now at about 1-1.5 inches) since my initial post. The past couple of weeks though, I switched from crickets to mealworms since the latter are more easily accessible. I'd been cutting off the head then cutting the body in two for easier to eat pieces, but today, I just skipped the decapitation and cut it in two, figuring the slightly more lively prey might be more enticing. I guess it wasn't entirely dead though since the half with the head disappeared into the substrate five minutes later.
My question is, since I bisected it, will the mealworm eventually die, or could it possibly recover, grow, and munch on my sling?
