RomanBuck Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Does anyone know if tarantula slings (babies) will scavenge for food? I have a particular sling that I didn't pay close attention to and now is in trouble as far as I can tell... It has eaten maybe 2 SMALL SMALL Periplaneta australasiae new borns... I wanna know if I put a dead roach in there, will it eat from it? I know jumpers do along with some other Arachnids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkie14 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yes, my tarantula slings have fed on dead roaches and crane flies that I place in their enclosure or wiggle in front of them with tweezers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyanga Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I feed tiny slings a half a mealworm. They can and do scavenge from the cut end, easiest way to feed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ya, fresh kill the prey. They also eat terrestrial isopods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
