What worms for GBB sling 1-2cm?

[DeathMarch6]

Hi I was wondering which worms would be best for my GBB sling if it's gone off crickets? thanks

Any, so long as you crush the heads first.

Thank you, so small wax worms okay?

You got it. Very high in fat - they're actually great for slings. But again, crush the heads.

Never heard of a GBB going off crickets.

I use small Calci worms for my smaller slings. There are usually ones the right size to live feed my smallest slings.

Here is a photo of my 0.7cm Ami sp panama with a Calci worm

When around 1" I introduce waxworms and small/medium crickets

GBB's are aggressive eaters. If it's not taking crickets, it's not hungry, and not going to eat anything else. You can raise any tarantula from sling thru adult on crickets alone.

A GBB not taking foods, sounds pretty much pre-molt to me. They are one of the most agressive eaters out there.

Huh? That makes so little sense I can't grasp it. If its not eating crickets, its lkely pre-molt and it won't matter what you offer it.

I will never crush the heads of a wax worm...its pretty pointless.....they bury and emerge as harmless moths.

I think a spider got into your salamander cage. Man, its wet in there.

I try to make my Ts microclimates as their climate would be in the wild. October is the wettest month in Panama as it is the peak of the rainy season.

And the picture makes it seem a bit wetter than it looks by eye. The sub has ground vermiculite mixed with dirt. Has loads of little white specs.

According to your profile, you're far from Panama, you have control over the rainy season, there's no reason to mimic anything but a mild season.......if you really want to mimic the wet season, don't forget the high winds and unststable ground conditions.
