If your T decides to burrow , which it mostly likely will at some point it won't be stopped by the buried part of the pot. Some Ts can be picky but the main problem sometimes with Dubais is they can play dead so you T won't feel it's movement. Red runner roaches (B lateralis (I hope that's right)) would be ideal if you can get hold of them but I wouldn't personally use anything wild caught as a feeder. It's a strange one because obviously wild Ts eat wild caught feeders but it's not something I would risk if it's easily avoidable as there is a chance of some kind of pesticide.I wouldn't have gotten into this hobby if it wasn't for YouTube and I know that for a fact. the only real downside to that is as Ts can live for so long (30+ years for some species) the "cool factor" of owning tarantulas can attract some people who get Ts for them reasons and don't do the proper research and lack the commitment. But yeah. For the enthusiasts it's probably never been easier to buy and sell species or learn about a new species <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
