[QUOTE="DuntyDunt, post: 225248, member: 42160"] Hello, I've just started with my first tarantula (4y B. hamorii) and I've fed her crickets, locusts and mealworms before but this time I decided to not crush the head as I wanted to see a ''battle'' for my entertainment. I know, I'm stupid. Anyways, the mealworm burrowed itself in the substrate instantly, and I've removed the T. from the enclosure, all decorations and I dug, and I dug, and I dug. For 30 minutes I dug up poop and insect carcasses but no mealworm was found, so I gave up and placed everything back in the enclosure. Now my worry is, can this one mealworm pose any threat to a ~circa 10cm leg span T. ? She's molted already barely 2 weeks ago and if she is to molt again I will monitor her and defend her from the possible sneaky beetle. My guess is I killed the mealworm while digging and it's so covered in dirt I wasn't able to spot it. [/QUOTE]
