pink toe sling feed

[flamtabk]

i recently got a pinktoe sling and i am confused about what to feed it. can i use regular size crix or do i use pinhead crix?

 

[Elson]

i'd feed my pinktoe sling with pinhead crix or mealworms...you wouldn't wanna take a risk right?? so normal size crix are not a good choice for your pinktoe...

pinhead crix and small mealworms will do!

 

[mouse]

depending on size of sling...but if you use the mealworm, squash it's head first..they'll try to bite your sling. with crix...if you can't get pinheads..rip the hind leg off of a big crix and offer "drumsticks", or squash med.size crix head and offer.

Most Avicularia spiderlings are quite capable of taking larger prey items this one of the features I love about this genus .

hope this helps

I always try a big cricket first and if it scares the spiderling then I move down from there. I will then offer it a small cricket and if that is too big then I will tear off the hind legs of a cricket and throw them in. It usualy works pretty well.

I find it safe to stuff any avic slings small crickets with size a little longer than the sling's body length, but no longer than the sling's legspan. Of course mealworm wrestling in the web is always fun to watch.

Try another avic sling...
