After the death of my A.avic Munchie on Friday my boyfriend went out and surprised me with another T. Unfortunately he got it from Petco which means I have no idea what it is sans the burrowing it has done (terrestrial I'm thinking).
Now, I'm not sure if its too soon for another one but alas I have another T, still worried it'll just off itself in a month like my previous T. To all those very much more experienced than I, I have left my T alone, It is on cocofiber and no water dish at current time cause the darn thing is so small.
I have read this:
http://www.tarantulas.com/spiderlings.html
Got it bookmarked, saved etc. So I have questions. Got the whole leave it alone, feed it dead crickets (blegh) but do i have to massacre it by cutting it up or can I leave a whole body in there? Misting or not misting and use a small lid (from my research seems preference as apparently slings float on water). Its gotta black abdomen but from research there's no telling what the frick it is due to tons of sling-darlings having the same black abdomen so when can I tell? About four or three molts? I can't size it due to it being in its burrow and building all around half of the enclosure(side of enclosure where I can see its cute teenie feet).
Also-is the enclosure ok? Too many/too few breathing holes? If have to will reuse another lid (I have 2 spares). Enclosure too large(8oz. Its in now)? I can go buy a baby food jar cheep if I have to.
Thanks trying to get back on that darn horse I fell off. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks.
