I just got ten tiny Aphonopelma slings (2nd or 3rd instar). I've housed them individually, each in a 2 oz cup with ~0.25" coconut fiber substrate, half of it damp. I diced mealworms for them and some have eaten but others haven't. The exoskeleton of even small mealworms is tougher than I expected, but one or both ends of each piece was open. I'll remove uneaten bits tomorrow and am wondering if I should try an even softer food like diced waxworm. Or, so long as they're eating prekilled food, why not bits of soft catfood?
I'm sure there are better ways to house tiny slings but at least they don't run far or fast! Hopefully, once they've settled in, they won't try to escape as often.
Any advise on feeding and keeping teeny tiny slings is appreciated!
