H davidbowie sling care

[dlegare]

I'm interested in getting a few H davidbowie slings

They're super tiny.

What will they eat?

I'm thinking springtails.

Any suggestions?

I've not kept this exact species, but I've had some very tiny slings before (less than 1/8" leg span). Springtails will work, but they'll also feed on cut pieces of mealworm, micro mealworms (hatchling), or prekilled tiny pinhead crickets. Even a cricket leg "drumstick" would work. You could use flightless fruit flies, but they're a pain and probably the least nutritious option.

I would start with XS mealworms cut into pieces and see if they'll take them. Just leave a piece or 2 in their enclosure and they'll scavenge on it.

H davidbowie was about 1/3 inch dls upon arrival, and had no problem pouncing on 1/4 inch live red runners.

We can't get the red runners in Florida. I have a culture of fruit flies and I have a local shop that always has pinhead crickets.
