Those of you with superior taste in music will get the post title :)
Little Red is filling out nicely to become a plump little Red. I'm still feeding one prey item every other day and then giving her a rest for a few days. Every time I feed her she voraciously goes for the meal.
Sunday nights feed was another good one in her progression insofar as there was no struggle. The cricket went in and as usual she was straight on it, but this time she subdued it straight away.
Her abdomen is still filling out so much, in a healthy looking way, that I'm sure a moult must be around the corner. I'm expecting her to go off her food soon in anticipation of this.
It is really nice watching this development in her hunting and feeding behaviour, it makes you feel like a proud parent!

Glad to hear red is doing well. Although if red does go off food it may not mean a molt is coming. I have a vagans, who stopped eating recently after a molt, it's refused 3 feedings so far, don't think it's in premolt or anything, maybe just taking a break?
ReplyDeleteThey can be funny eaters can't they? Certainly my G.rosea goes off food for ages for no apparent reason.
ReplyDeleteI suppose we can only continue to offer food in these situations and remove it if it is refused.
So far I have one greedy sling on my hands though!
