Strophurus Tanicauda

One of the Strophurus Tanicauda´s i got home yesterday.

They are about 4 centimeters. Bloody difficult to find food in a proper size for them
Cricket pinheads seem to small and newborn dubia roaches seem a little too big.
What do you guys do here? do you feed a little bigger items or smaller?

And, what exactly has this got to do with U. milii ?

Nice Strophurus Taenicauda though, but in our opinion it's stil a little young to be sold.

I posted a post on N milii, found out i did it in the wrong forum:?
Couldnt figure out how to delete it and then tried to change it into a stophurus thread instead.
but the headline didnt change.

Im sorry but i did what i could.

I dont think the guys i bought them from cared too much about that...
Do you have any advise for me, considering their young age?

(any advise on how to change the headline of the the thread is also very welcome:roll: )

Maybe try to contact a moderator so they can change the title, or report your own threath and explain what went wrong, for the mods it should be no problem to change it i think.

In regards to the young age and the seller not caring abouth that, if it where us we would not have bought it.
However, now it's under your care make sure to keep a close eye on it and make sure it drinks and eat's and you should be fine.
Care for babies is more or less the same is with adults, if you can't find the right size feeders maybe try some fruitflies or something, you can always feed a little smaller too, they just will have to eat more then.
Bigger prey can cause impaction, and especially with little ones we wouldn't risk that.
