[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 164751, member: 29302"] You've had the nightmare run up tongs incident! You are now a member of a club of keepers who've dealt with the same thing. Funnily enough I posted a video only a few days ago, of this happening to an experienced keeper with the exact same species. Here's the link (the vagans video is in my last comment) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/awesome-a-geniculata-feeding-clip.25385/#post-164408[/URL] [USER=31645]@Brachyfan[/USER] gives some good tips which will make life easier. I always crush mealworms heads to stop them burrowing as it does cause them to thrash a bit too, which provokes that feeding response. Just drop them in and don't take your eyes off the t! If my P sazimai is being particularly loopy skittish I feed it in the bathtub, as the enclosure is on the shallow side and it would be up over it and off in a heartbeat if it got spooked. The benefit is the tub and bathroom is cooler than the room my T's are in. Leave it in there half hour before wrestling off the lid and I have a slower more chilled t. I do the maintenance, the waterdish, then drop in a cricket. Lid straight back on. Replace enclosure and check later if she's got it. [/QUOTE]
