I eat a banana or 2 almost every day. I love them! They are awesome for the quick sugar pick me up, as I am very prone to hypo-glycemia. This morning shows no exception, and as I went to the bunch that I have sitting by my coffee pot, I remembered that there were some other folks in the house that might also enjoy a banana with me.
The first thing I did was pick out a medium sized banana. I didn’t want to eat a big one, so a medium one worked well. I then went to the cutting board to slice my banana, and made 2 small cuts at the tip (after I had taken a bite, of course.) I took both slices and cut them into quarters. One of the quartered pieces went onto a napkin, and the others I just carried by hand.
The little ones in the deli cup got the napkin slices, and Tara, my remaining female hisser, got the free slices.
Tara hasn’t eaten at all since I brought her and her mate home. I am very thankful that she didn’t eat the orange I placed in their tank, as I think that’s what killed my male. (I forgot to wash the fruit before I put it in the tank :*( The male went to town on it, but Tara ignored it.
I am hoping to have more success with the banana.
On another note:
Tank (my A. unnamed sling) has become even more anti-social, and has dug deeper into her jar. The really cool thing is that the burrow is by the glass so I can see her! Serj is also still visible in her jar. I almost feel like I have an ant farm with spiderlings!
I have been taking suggestions from various forums that I post on, on how to feed the slings. Using tweezers is the latest suggestion, so I will try it this weekend.
