Otherwise I use their tunnel entrance, but use small crickets. Most of the time I guide them in, if the T is still small I squash the head and push in into the entrance, they will pull it in. Other than that, I have on two occasions slightly pulled the tunnel apart not saying its right but the tarantulas adjusted. My older avic avic, has now twice taken a cricket from my hand might just be random. I was on both occasions trying to drop it in, both times taken not once bitten. Will add, I'm not going to do it say with my l.sp Borneo black or l.violaceopes but my avic has been sweet.</blockquote>
