Husband thinks I'm starving them so he gives them a day extra. Yet he feeds our our cat only twice a day??
They only need fed once every week or two . This one will probably quit eating and go into pre molt super fat!!!
I had a loss once from a supposedly fall and t wasn’t even fat.
No pointy anything. Just dirt and spag moss. He/she has two bottle caps because one is pooped in a lot. Hubby is on probation.They only need fed once every week or two . This one will probably quit eating and go into pre molt super fat!!!
Need water once a week tho !:wideyed:
Make sure no pointy objects or rocks are In then enclosure , don’t want t to go pop!
So is he over feeding and should I tell. Or is my baby okay?You can't overfeed a sling. They put everything into growth. It's their job to eat as much as they can to get bigger and stronger as fast as possible.
I feed my slings twice a week or every 3 days, sometimes even more often if I think they're hungry. They will stop eating when it's time to moult.
It's a different issue with juvies and especially adults as they don't moult that often, and as a result you can get mechanical problems (rubbing injuries, abrasions, etc.) with them being overweight.
As long as it eats three appropriately sized meals a week, let it. It will stop on its own eventually. And from what I can see your enclosure has not too much height, so no risk of falling too deep, which is great. So, just don't worry and look forward to a hopefully much bigger spider after its next moult.
Not in this case anyway...
Nope.
