Is a dubia roach nymph too large to feed to my caribena versicolor sling

[Trantulamomma83]

Hi I'm relatively new and the tarantula keeping Hobby and I ever just recently purchased my first caribena versicolor spleen and I started a dubia roach colony about three months ago and I was wondering if a dubia roach nymph would be too large to view to feed to my caribena versicolor sling

it will be fine to feed.....they're easiest to feed if you crush the head (or it will/can burrow) and lay them on their backs on the ts webbing. IME nymphs get a pretty good feeding response with slings.

Didn't know those were a thing, tell me more!

But yes dubia nymphs should be fine.

Lol thank you! I just wasn't sure if they would be too big for it or not

Thank you for the advice I will try that!
