Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jess S" data-source="post: 166806" data-attributes="member: 29302">I had the same thing happen in one of the albos burrows and I just left it, because getting it would have destroyed the burrow and disturbed the spider. It didn't go mouldy. It dried up and went black and crispy(!) I had to eventually rehouse it, not because of the mealworm but because it totally outgrew the enclosure. (Disclaimer Obviously, you should always remove remains if you can get to them and if you notice mould then you need to deal with it by scooping it out or rehousing if it's causing an issue.)</blockquote>
