Atm im keeping a few slings
N. chromatus
H. maculata
S. philipinus
C. crayshawi
They are all roughly a little over a cm in size.
Im feeding them small crix atm, pinheads theyr called? Im feeding them 2 of these little crix every 5 days, except my N.chromatus, who isnt really eating much these days. I usually put a dead one in for him and he has a little nibble on it.
Id just like to check im feeding them all right with the experts

I'd have them on every 3 days personally, with a size 2 cricket, or a small maggot for ease.

But they sound ok and it certainly wont harm them

I agree, I feed my slings every 2-3 days depending in how they eat.

I feed most slings every 2-3 days, but some will take food every day if I offered. It is best to get them to moult a few times as quick as possible to reduce the chance of losing them.

I feed my sling with 2 pinhead crickets or 1 slightly bigger cricket every 2 days. I got him in Nov and he moulted on 10th Dec. He got through it fine!

Btw spidergirl33, thanks for the 3 baby GALS you left for me at my sisters (BlackRose), not that I see much of them.

i've had a couple of problems with dehydration doing every five days (they're too thick to drink apparently), so every three days should be fine.
don't be tempted to "power-feed" as that seems to cause problems with moulting and shorter life-spans, but every 3 days or so, excepting during a moult cycle (when they stop eating anyways), should be fine.
in the wild they might get loads of food or barely any, and at random intervals, so don't worry too much, just observe them and feed fairly frequently, and they should be fine!

my spidlin mexican redknee i feed him when there isnt a cricket in there and replace the one once he ate it, and if he dont touch it in 2 days i take it out and leave him and normaly he will molt. and he have also ate a medium size brown cricket. he is about 4cm now.
