Thanks very much! Regarding the cricket drumstick - I wondered what happens to the cricket who you took the leg off? Does it bleed to death/suffer a lot? For example, is it kinder to just kill it then take the leg off, or just take the leg off? Lol. I know 'pain' in such small insects is debated, and I know the tarantula may well make it suffer, but I do hate the idea of not being as humane as possible when I am killing things myself.
