My tarantula eats in her cave and I don’t know how to clean it

[Akkai]

My Brachypelma hamorii decided to eat in her cave. Everytime I feed her she goes to her cave and I can’t pick up the lefts cuz she has barricaded herself and made spiderwebs. What should I do? Should I move the cave to pick up the lefts?

I have a few T's that eat in there burrows and I am unable to get to the leftover boluses so I have springtails or isopods in there enclosures that clean up the leftovers for me... Have you tried springtails or isopods?

Tarantulas will clean their own burrows and toss out the debris. It will be a webbed ball of substrate containing all the unwanted stuff. Most of the time they will toss this in the water bowl or as far as possible from the entrance. I never worry about what goes on in the burrow.

Springtails and isopods are great for cleaning up but with a arid species like Brachypelma they are hard to keep alive with the dry substrate.

I just found an uneaten superworm in my B Smithis water dish. Interesting
