Tried live ones and dead ones.. sling isn't afraid of the live ones, just uninterested. It's plenty fat, so I'm not super worried, just wondering if I need to change what I'm doing.
As long as it has a hide, a water dish, and dirt, it should be fine. If you would like, you can take a pic of the enclosure.
This is why it isn't eating. They aren't like humans who eat themselves into obesity.
If you want your T to eat more frequently, feed it less frequently than what you have done in the past.
It hasn't eaten since I got it, actually. I keep trying every 3-4 days, leaving the feeder in there overnight, then removing it in the morning (if it's alive).
Should be fine, but post a pic to be sure. As long as the abdomen is a good size, it should be ok.
Took this one this morning. Abdomen is about 30% smaller than it was a month ago. I put a crushed head cricket in there last night and she's terrified of it.
Has this cricket eat anything since you have owned it? Make sure you are putting in the right size prey. Unless you have some really small crickets, it may be better to break the cricket into a few pieces and see if that helps.
No, she hasn't eaten anything since I've had her, which is almost a month now. I've tried a couple-few times each week with different size/kinds of prey items, some alive, some half-dead, some dead. The cricket in there since last night is about half her size and mostly dead.
Your husbandry for the T sounds fine to me. Perhaps someone else who owns s B. klassi can provide advice. I also own a 1/2" size sling. I have no idea if mine has eaten yet because it is constantly burrowing so far. For this reason, I have only put pre-kill only in the container.
No burrowing with this one, though super active and all over the place. My bf suggested perhaps she's vegetarian!
