Slings and feeding?

[SpaceHawk]

When should I try to feed these guys? They are all little brown T's now, but still not very mobile, and slow.


Thanks guys.

More information would be helpful, such as specific species and size. In general though, for small s'lings feed them once or twice a week. For larger T's, once every week or two.

However, feeding schedules is one of the topics that is often debated.

The "When" in your question is confusing me a bit. Are they newly arrived T's? If they're new arrivals to your home, it's best to wait a few days to let them get used to their new surroundings.

I feed my 3/4" to 1 1/5" slings about every 3-4 days. The 1"+ guys get a small live cricket, and the under 1" guys get a small prekilled cricket.

Do you know what instar they are? if they are only 1st instar they probably won't eat untill after they have molted

They are all about 1/4 inch long. Getting all brown. I think they are still first instar. They were laid about 2 months ago almost, but are just barely getting mobile.

I am not sure when these guys should feed, since all I breed are scorps, never T's before.
