I recently received a blue. I she’s about 4 inches. I fed her once and she took the cricket just fine. Now she has established her burrow and has webbed over it. Am I able to throw a cricket in there or do I need to damage her web to get the food to her? Any advice...?

A webbed over burrow entrance means "do not disturb " it could be preparing to molt. A cricket or other prey can harm or kill a molting t. They tend to lurk at the opening when hungry. If you see legs sticking out of the entrance that's a good sign that its hungry.

Most likely pre-moult, don’t disturb. Fill her water bowl and leave alone.
