Hey thanks again, another newbie question...what makes it a "true pinhead"? Just curious.anything small...a cricket leg, a diced piece if mealworm...if you can get actual pinheads, great, but most cant get true pinheads. I feed mine small dubia roaches with the heads crushed...my little ones are eating now in fact.
Did not mean to quote this post...oops...sorryYeah, I'm gonna throw in another vote for cricket legs as food for very small slings.
I have three slings right now, so I generally give two of the slings a cricket leg a piece; and then I toss the remainder of the live, mutilated cricket to one of my adult Ts. The third sling gets a leg from another cricket, and the rest of that living cricket is also fed to one of my adult Ts. No waste.
I was a bit worrisome upon initially obtaining slings- kinda like how you are.However, with a little help from @cold blood, as well as actually experiencing things for myself, I gained confidence in my overall sling husbandry. You will also gain confidence soon. Good luck. And well wishes to your H. lividum.

size...pinheads are tiny...so tiny you couldnt or wouldnt need to kill or dice them even for the smallest sling.Hey thanks again, another newbie question...what makes it a "true pinhead"? Just curious.
Perfect that's what I've got!size...pinheads are tiny...so tiny wou couldnt or wouldnt need to kill or dice them even for the smallest sling.
My slings get baby mealworms. (I have a small colony, and I can usually find some tiny sling-sized mealworms if I dig.) If you only have larger mealworms, you can dice those for slings.Slings sure are stressful. Also they are 2i and about 1/2". Any advice would be appreciated thank you guys.
