Over feeding?
I think I may have over fed my GBB sling... I started off by giving it bean weevils but have moved on to crickets. I gave it one about a week and a half ago and one last night but it now looks like it's gonna pop!! So I'm wondering how long I should leave it before I feed it again, I'm thinking I should just leave it till it looks a normal size again
just look at it!!!!  I feel really bad

Yeah you often find that the slings are mental feeders! I have a small B. vagans that has a shiny abdomen where it's so stretched! It will still eat more :/

wow shes one fat gbb, yah id wait a while before feeding if i were you, apparently it can reduce their lifespan because they race through the sling stages and are juvie or adult size in no time

Oh wow that is rather big, def leave it till after it molts as lisa said. I've neva seen one that big before
 Don't feel too bad, I think most of us will have done it at some point. We naturally think we are doing whats best cause we don't want them to starve. Last edited by perthchickie; 05-03-2010 at 12:45 AM..
