Freaking out!

[Calico]

I fed my little GBB a cricket two days ago and I thought he ate it but last night when I went to give water, I saw it in there. It must have had a really good hiding spot. And as with GBB's, his enclosure is one big web, and I couldn't reach it without destroying the webbing. Well, this morning I looked in there and he has flipped on his back. Now I'm nervous because the cricket is still in there. He is pretty deep in the webbing and I don't think the cricket can get to him, but I'm still freaking out. Fingers crossed everything goes well and by tonight I'll have a bigger, prettier (and hopefully able to sex) GBB.

The tarantula has probably webbed itself off enough so the cricket can’t get to it. Good luck!

All is well! Came home to a nicely molted T. Still in the webbing so can't see it too much. But that cricket is still worrying me. I don't see it and I don't think the T will try to eat until it's fangs harden. I just keep watching and waiting. I sure hope it pushes this molt out. I really want to know what "it" is!

If you're worried about the cricket, put a small piece of carrot or something in the corner of your enclosure. Cricket may go for a snack.

Great suggestion. I will try that. Thank you!
