Feed juveniles 3–5 times per week with prey items sized appropriately to avoid impaction.
🧠 Behavior & Handling
- Temperament: Skittish but curious; juveniles are easily startled
- Handling: Best done in short, calm sessions; let them climb on you rather than restrain
- Socialization: Better solo or in opposite-sex pairs introduced early; males may fight.

My Trinidad dwarf sling and live food arrived safely and well packed after a short delay due to freezing temperatures which is understandable and in the spiders best interests.
