Default problem solved !

I bought three slings a couple of weeks ago. GBB, B. smithi, and a B. boehmi. The first two have been eating well and are quite big, especially the GBB. The boehmi had 1 cricket when I first got him and nothing since, and he's tiny. I was getting a bit worried.
So today I checked him out. I removed one dead cricket, and then found another just at the entrance to his burrow. I fished it out with a pair of tweezers and it's not a cricket, the little fella has shed!!

I assume I now have to leave him well alone till say friday before I put another cricket in with him? Will 5 days be enough? Anything else I should do?

5 days should be enough, but I usually leave mine a week before feeding.

at that size they harden up very quickly a few days should be enough, leave it a week though to make sure if you want.
