Cricket bolus' or lack thereof

Is it common for Tarantula's to leave nothing behind after a feeding? I only ask because I have yet to find any bolus' in the tank after their meals. I take my time to check around for leftovers, and so far I've had no issues with any mold or smelly tanks either...so I'm assuming I haven't missed any corpses in their tanks.

So is this common, or are my T's just careful not to waste a single morsel? lol

some times they bury them, hide them or scatter them.. don't worry to much about it. you'll know before it's an issue.

Thanks for the reassurance Kenny! I've found a couple cricket legs here and there, but that's all. I'll continue to keep my eye out for them, and remove them if I see them...and otherwise won't stress too much if I don't :)
