So I haven't posted here in a while. But I've been meaning to ask. I got 2 slings, a B.Vagans and a B.Albo. My B.Albo is about.. hmm 1"+ maybe? i have to guess a bit since she always hides and its hard to actually measure her. And My B.Vagans is about 1/4" or so. maybe a bit bigger.
How often do you think I should be feeding them? as is, I've been feeding them killed mealworms. both of them have no problem with this it seems and are totally fine with them and always eat them. I usually buy small mealworms and cut it in half and one half goes to each spider, and I feed it about once a week, but a few times have waited 2 weeks to feed them just because im busy (this is only happened twice, its not a common occurance). I know some people feed them anywhere from every few days, to every 2 weeks, so im hoping its ok as I am now, but I'm also willing to feed them more often if you guys think they need it. I know the more you feed them, the faster they grow (and possibly shorter the lifespan) so I just wanted to know a good average amount of time to feed these spiders of their size.
