Hacklemesh weaver diet?

[invertebrateguy]

I have recently found 5 hacklemesh weavers (callobius bennetti) and i am wondering what i can feed them?

I would feed them some mealworms and other feeders but these are really small slings.

So what should i feed them? Prekiled feeders? Fruit flies? Mosquitoes?

Or should i feed them something else?

Flightless fruit flies or prekilled feeders cut into acceptable pieces, these work great.

What I do for my various small spiders/ T slings, it's a little grizzly. I grab a cricket and yank a leg off. These cricket drumsticks are perfect for young spiders as they are known to scavenge. I try to use the rest of the cricket to feed larger spiders, feels a bit more humane.

Another grizzly thing that they like is sliced mealworms. Get some small worms depending on the size of your slings, use small scissors, cut them up and give each sling a slice. I never give them the head though, And as @Tbone192 said, cricket drumsticks and flightless fruit flies are gourmet sling dinners. Yum, chow down!

I forgot to reply to this thread but before anyone replied i fed them some cut up mealworms and they ate them
