Slings of 1cm and upwards get size 1 or 2 brown crickets, once they reach the ginormous size of 2 -2.5 cm (1 inch) I generally feed maggots until they have reached 3 -3.5cm. They are then fed lobster roaches of varying sizes.
I feed maggots as they are totally defenceless and the slings are in no danger but I dont think the slings care anyway ..... because its FOOD !!
Slings can and will take on suprisingly large prey compared to their size.
I prefer roaches over crickets because it is much much safer for the sling/spider.
Here are a few old pics that I have shown before of small slings taking on maggots that are as big as themselves.
