Message: <blockquote data-quote="RedCapTrio" data-source="post: 52123" data-attributes="member: 4027">Got a bit of Barney! Was inspecting the twist and turns of the burrow of the tiny boehmei when the enclosure slip and drop about 6inches to the table and the lid popped and spilled some substrate! I immediately got a plate and tried to find my T. Fortunately, it was not crushed or hurt because it crawled to my propped finger. Did a redo with its enclosure and placed a precrushed small roach after my T had settled in. I checked right now and it is eating! Yey!<img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/images/tarantulasmiley.jpg"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":T:" title="Tarantula Smiley    :T:" data-shortname=":T:" />Inspired, I gave my chaco a precrushed small roach too but it ignored it. So definitely in premolt. Thanks for the response guys. In the hustle and bustle, I forgot to take pictures. I also don't want to disturb the eating T since it might leave its food.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /></blockquote>
