Hey everyone, I've got a question about my 2 slings. Picked up a 1 inch P. cancerides and a smaller (maybe half inch?) H. gigas the other day from Ken's shop in Tucson. My issue is that I had to leave town for about 4 days and no one to feed them. My P. cancerides has been eating plenty of the small size (pinkie nail sized) crickets I've been giving her and I made sure to feed her one on the morning I left, making sure she was nice and plump.
Now, the H. gigas is at a size where she's too small for the crickets the other sling eats, but apparently too big for the microscopic pinhead crix I accidentally got for her. I know slings are voracious eaters and I'm worried more about my tiny gigas as I've not seen her eat since I got her. She's shown interest in the small sized crickets I give the cancerides but won't go after them. From the look of her I don't think she was fed for at least a day or two before I bought her (although I could be wrong).
Anyone have any experience with these situations? Am I worrying too much?
