[QUOTE="Luxus, post: 69340, member: 4671"] Hi folks I got a Brachypelma Albopilosum 4 days ago. So far she seems to be a bit stressed with her new, bigger enclosure and has burrowed herself under a cork bark. She has dig out quite a big cave :D all that is left is a small hole in the back of her enclosure where I can see inside her cave. She doesn't seem to be in pre-molt (has eaten 2 days ago, not sluggish) so I'm planning on continuing to do so if she's hungry and doesn't show any other signs. Now to my question: Should I let the cricket that I'm feeding her roam in the enclosure for a bit or simply drop it down into her hole? I'm kinda worried that if she won't eat it I'll have to go and open up the hole to get it out again since the cricket won't be able to climb up from it because it simply goes straight down. I don't want to stress her out by opening up her cave. Any advice? [ATTACH=full]14502[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
