I'm so guilty as i'm writing this, i was transferring my a. versicolor sling to a delicup for feeding when they jumped suddenly and fell probably 3 or 4 feet. no apparent injuries, but they held still for a long time after the fall, which im hoping was just from the surprise of it. i'm worried for a few reasons, obviously bc thats a pretty high fall, and i know that avics are less hardy than a lot of types... and bc they are missing legs from a bad molt (which im surprised they even survived in the first place) i already worry about them a lot. i know all i can do is keep an eye on them but i'm wondering if there's anything i should look for or expect. they're 3/4 an inch, and acting normally so far.
as a side note i do not handle my sling unless it's transferring to a delicup, which i have to feed them in bc the aforementioned lack of legs makes it hard for them to hunt without help.
i feel so terrible that this happened and i definitely will always transfer them much much closer to the ground from now on.
