So you get them out? If so, that's really good. Crickets left in the enclosure are more of a threat to terrestrials since many of them molt out in the open. I try to make sure there are none in the enclosure regardless if I suspect a tarantula to be in premolt. However, it's not as much of a concern with arboreals since A) They don't normally molt on the ground (Avics and Iridopelma species never do) and B) They'll seal themselves inside of their hides using a thick wall of silk which crickets can't get through. This also goes for heavy webbing terrestrials. Terrestrials that don't web much and molt in the open are at greatest risk.
Yes luckily got them out without disturbing her! Thanks for the info chubbs!
