Feeding My G.Aureostriata Sling

[bluerich74]

Yesterday I got a G. aureostriata sling as a freebie for buying another T.He is so tiny.Ive never seen crickets small enough to feed him.Ive tried injuring the smallest cricket I found and seeing if he could eat that.Does anyone have an idea of what or how I can feed him?Ive had other slings before and had no problem.Its just that this guy is so small..Thank you..Rich

I know it sounds kinda gross, but you can try using cricket pieces. Most of the spiderlings I've kept take parts as readily as they do the whole thing.

Pinheads are what i feed all my slings

Also, try tiny, sliced bits of beefheart. You can get it fairly cheaply at Petsmart. They're packaged like tiny ice cubes.

Cricket pieces, mealworm pieces, roach pieces, etc., a little creative dismemberment does wonders for feeding the wee ones without breaking the bank for pinheads.

Well,I checked in on the little critter today and there was a small hole in the substrate and sure enough the injured cricket was gone.I was just wondering how long this meal would hold him since the cricket was as big if not bigger then the sling itself.I guess everything will be ok now..Thanks...Rich
