I'm not too knowledge on roach-feeding to T's but I'm not sure if it's safe for slings. I know certain roaches(hissers/dubias?) should only be fed to large T's since their fangs are strong enough to pierce the exoskeleton and any smaller T's could damage their fangs. As for feeding, You should try and see if their fangs are completely black before attempting to feed. For slings that usually takes about 5-7 maybe 10 days. Any sooner and they could still be soft and you risk damaging their fangs.

Ya rich said to grab smallest roach for the lil one. She took one earlier no problem then went into hiding to molt. Ive been putting dead ones since shes so little. In a few days ill try an feed since first time seeing her in weeks ha

Mine have all been taking roaches fine. Maybe they're super spiders lol. Even the little house spider i caught ate 2 of them, and his fangs are really tiny.

Wheres Rich been to chime in??? Im sure hes been too busy having fun playing with his baby versicolors lol

I have been passed out all weekend trying to catch up on sleep :o

I missed a lot :p
Congrats on all the new molts.

carlson. If she is out and about I'm betting she is ready for a meal. Give her a dead one and she if she takes it. The smaller they are the quick they harden back up.
