I accidentaly burried a pre-killed mealworm on my sling enclosure substrate

Right now my sling is in his web tunnel. Should i disturb my sling to move him into a temporary enclosure and then clean the substrate?

Do you have photos? To better show us the situation?
I had slings that buried food and stuff got mouldy but they were fine. There was someone else here with a big white mould cotton and the spiders were also fine.

You could try to use spoon to scoop it out. Tea spoon or something of the sort. How deep is it burried? And do you have any springtails?

Try to get down there with tongs or something long.

Its all the way down on the bottom of the enclosure because its an arboreal enclosure and didnt have much substrate

Try it and tell us if you succeeded. If not we will think more.

Definitely want to get that out.

This being a sling I wouldn't exactly get to worked up as a rehouse will be inevitable but yes it will be good to remove to try to avoid mold. What species is your sling?? If it were a Psalmopeous that rehouse could come fast. As far as if you get mold I have had mold blooms in several enclosures and the rehouses out of it went longer than I wanted but all the spoods seem to do OK. I hate the stuff. Mostly it's just unsightly! Very unsightly ! Happy Spoodering!!!
