[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 140819, member: 27883"] Ditto what Enn said. If I need to remove an uneaten roach, I just pluck it out with some short sharp forceps. Pulchra are good eaters and not usually too nervous. If they don't eat it on sight (Or sense, as the case may be...), then they probably aren't going to eat it. Much easier to catch and remove the roach soon after you drop it in than trying to catch it later after it is rested and better oriented. I have 10 pulchra slings that I've been raising for the last few months and if they don't take the roach immediately when it gets near them, I just take it right back out because I know they are in pre-molt again.
