[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 218523, member: 36911"] If she has not come out already, let her be. Every time I have rehoused a T it has taken time to adjust, usually by clinging to a wall for a long time. Some people use plastic catch cups with holes poked in the bottom and use paint brushes to gently prod the T out. I guess you could do that from the mouth if the cup too. I usually gently push the T’s butt as most times using the legs gets me a defensive response. Watch Dave’s Little Beasties on YouTube, he has a great way with tarantulas. Come to think of it, I think he managed to get a reluctant T moving by gently pressing a side of the paint brush above the bristles on the Ts legs. Recently I tried to move one of my G. pulchra in order to get a beheaded super worm that slipped down a crack. Nothing doing. I pressed her butt and she just flicked hairs. I let her be and got the worm later. [/QUOTE]
