A few days ago I put in a cricket for my pink toe to eat, but it's still alive and I need to pull it out...but I've come across my problem with my Pink Toe (rex).
He's made himself a webbed spot in the corner of his enclosure and is hiding in it (probably premolt but I'm not sure). It's attached to the lid of his enclosure, so I'd basically have to destroy the whole thing in order to remove the lid and remove the crickets.
If he's in premolt, is it fine for me to destroy the webbing?
I could still remove the cricket, but it would require me to move the enclosure around which seems more stressful for him than it's worth. But I'm unsure if destroying the webbing would be more stressful or not.
(Also, has anyone known dubia roaches to be dangerous to tarantulas? I lost one in his enclosure last month and found it today being poked by the cricket. It's still alive, but if it poses no danger I'm fine with leaving it until he's ready to eat it.)
