They accepted food almost immediately after i got them and all seems fine but three of them won't stop eating. I feed them every 2-3 days and 3 of them are as fat as the one in the first 2 pictures and 1 is not accepting food but is also a bit less fat (see pic below) they still havent molted or stopped eating except for the one. Is a month without having molted long or is it just fine? 15742813195942494389003957949447.jpg

Yes it should be fine. They will molt when they are ready. If they refuse food then leave it be and try the next week. If it refuses again it is most likely getting ready for a molt. I used to feed my slings no more then once a week.

The more often you feed your slings the longer the ‘fasting interval’ aka pre-moult will be. Considering how plump its abdomen is, I’d only offer food once a week and if it refuses two consecutive weeks I’d quit offering food altogether and just wait for it to moult, which could be several weeks or just a month but longer or shorter depending on the individual.
