Mesomelas sling

[winwin]

Hey guys, it's me again with another question. I have a mesomelas sling at 2.5cm or more and it was feeding well, but yesterday and today, i fed it a small roach, it attacked and carried it around but after a while dropped it. What does that mean?

 

[Fran]

It means is not hungry.

That is pretty common that they attack and then let go, often during pre and post molt.

Yes i know they do that when they don't wanna eat but is just annoyed with the feeder but mine attacks, holds it in the mouth for a few hours or overnight, then drops it...

Side update:
The sling is doing well so far with temps up to 30C...

Like Fran said already, its just not hungry. The feeder was invading the tarantulas space so it killed it, thats about it.
