if you dont have access to pinheads or fruit flies in your area,what is a good source of food for 1/4" or 1/2" spiderlings?most of my lings i make sure there an inch or more wen i buy them so they have no problem taking normal size crickets but i recently had a curly hair ling that was 1/2" that died because i had problems finding food for it.well i could find food for it,but the food killed it.i would put a chopped up cricket part in with it and it would eat it but it would leave alot left over and the leftover would mold over night pretty badly and the next day i would remove the moldy leftover.it died because one night the mold got so bad it took over the whole vial and grew on to the curly and killed it.i recently got another ling that is very small,1/4" to take the curlies place.its a carlsbad green spiderling.i dont want no moldly left over cricket parts killing it like with the curly.what are some good alternative foods it would take if the pet stores around here dont sell pinheads or fruit flies?i herd some people give cricket legs to there lings but to me,it dosent look like the crickets legs have much on them the sling can eat.
