[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 142711, member: 26980"] It might be best to add the substrate a little bit at a time. If he or she is inside the cork bark round, maybe use a spoon to slowly add a bit at a time. That's what I would try personally before pulling the tarantula out in a catch cup and then putting it back. I very seldom pull OWs out of their cages when I need to make a change unless there is mold in the cage. I just work a around them....slowly!! Patience is a virtue. Feeding the T first to keep it otherwise occupied is something else I do first. I also place the enclosure within a tote containing water with a styrofoam block in the middle. I place the entire tote within the bathtub, curtains pulled aside and drains blocked off. I don't have this species but I've had 2 other baboon spiders and currently have 3 pokies & I've had no issues. [/QUOTE]
