[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 151085, member: 27883"] Once the tarantula has a hold of it, the babies will be churned up and eaten along with the rest of the meal. I suppose it is physically possible for one to drop away and escape, but very unlikely. Even if it did, the tarantula would eventually find it and eat it. Even if the tarantula didn't find it and eat it, no harm is done. The baby roach can't escape, and it won't harm your tarantula even during the molt. The egg case is retained inside the female until the moment the babies come out. The chances of the babies coming out at the exact moment you grab that female dubia and toss it to your stirmi are slim to none. You'd see it if the babies were already coming out. I've been feeding roaches of many species including dubia, hissers, and many Blaberus species, to insectivores since the 90's. I've never had what you are worried about here happen. [/QUOTE]
