Message: <blockquote data-quote="SamuraiLawyer" data-source="post: 25409" data-attributes="member: 2768">Thanks to all.  Ceratogyrus, just as you and Alyeskawolf said, my OBT has webbed up and doesn't try to escape as much at feeding.  Of course, I've also got it in the bigger deli cup and I open and close the lid like lightning, too.  As for being brave for taking one on as a newbie, I attribute the decision more to ignorance than courage.  I'm not so brave that I've taken the lid off for an extended period to poke around and search for pinhead cricket boluses.  But I need to, right?  Isn't there a mold danger for leaving them lying around?  Also, I've noticed some boluses in this and other deli cups simply disappear.  I know the crickets aren't escaping, because I pre-kill them for my two little babies.  Do the T's bury them in the substrate?Again, many thanks to all for your helpful and entertaining comments.  I've got a beginner's zeal.  I'm actually starting to miss my special babies when I'm away from them.</blockquote>
