So my blue has taken quite sometime to adapt to her new home. In all honestly partly my bad in getting all the conditions right. Anyway, I came home today to see she burrowed 8 inches down to the bottom of her enclosure. So thinking she finally made her self at home I tried feeding her again. She hasn't taken in any food for 4-5 weeks. I came home tonight to see her at the the top of her burrow but shiny black. Then i saw the exoskeleton. To my horror she molted today and had provided crickets. I plucked 3 but I think I had given 4. I can not see any in the burrow just the exoskeleton and her. What do I do? What if anything can I do? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I agree leave her alone she will eventually settle in i would'nt throw 4 crickets in at a time just let her web her burrow.

Some species will kill any prey they can find before they start molting. If you havent' found it yet my guess is it's been destroyed by an angry molting T ;)
