my hubby has been crushing the heads of superworms as everyone suggests, but they don't keep moving. They just are kinda dead...... Help!
I am also worried about this. When I feed my only sling, he will eat a little and then leave it to rot ... I think they just pick at them, dead or freshly killed, after a while. Guessing this is for the new slings?my hubby has been crushing the heads of superworms as everyone suggests, but they don't keep moving. They just are kinda dead...... Help!
No. I just gave them bits last night and took out the leftovers this morning. The pieces I gave were pretty big. I didn't expect them to eat it all.I am also worried about this.

Our don't snatch very fast. A Grammostola pulchripes and a Brachypelma vagans. Plus if they don't want it, it will burrow.Ohhhhh, got it. For me, I just feed the live worms to them. They tend to snatch it right up. Can't really help with crushing them
Thank you! I tried that with the vagans, but I think she's in pre molt. Glad to know we're probably doing something right.The ones I prekill for I drop a few inches away from them, if they don't take it right away I use a paint brush to very lightly stimulate the prey. Most of the time a little nudging of the feeder towards the t causes enough movement to prompt interest. That's just my experience though.
Please tell me this doesn't surprise you.my hubby has been crushing the heads of superworms as everyone suggests, but they don't keep moving. They just are kinda dead...... Help!
So many people said they'd still kinda twitch. Everyone has squished a bug and seen the legs twitch after, so yeah, I expected twitching. I am not surprised killing them causes them to be dead! LolPlease tell me this doesn't surprise you.
Well they do sorto f stay alive for a few days, but usually not enough movement.So many people said they'd still kinda twitch. Everyone has squished a bug and seen the legs twitch after, so yeah, I expected twitching. I am not surprised killing them causes them to be dead! Lol
This is my problem then. Finding that balance between no longer burrowing, but still wiggling.You are supposed to only slighty smash in the head, if you shash the head too much or rip it off they die in a few minutes, but if you smash it just slightly then they will still move around but not be able to burrow.
