Picked up a B. smithii sling at a show last Saturday (Oct 11). It had just molted into its 2nd instar (old exskel was lying next to it). Well I've offered it a cricket 2X now (cricket body length was about same length as sling's body --cephathorax plus abdomen) but the sling just ignores it or runs from it. These are the smallest crickets I can obtain. Also finding it strange because I've had slings in the past to which I have had take much larger prey w/o a problem.
Should I be worried or might this be a case in which the sling's new exo has perhaps not harden up fully yet?
