[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 123166, member: 26980"] If that's her permanent hideout, I'll have to be careful about filling the water dish!! I can't just over flow it. A soggy pokie is probably not a happy one. Of course, I don't have to open the top. It has a screen but still not good. The M balfouri Maxine has ignored the cricket for a whole day. I figure that Patricia may well be more interested. One thing I do for the crickets is to locate where the T is or I suspect it is. Then I get the smallest tweezers I have and carefully place some cricket chow in that location or at the edge of the web. I don't know who else does this but it lets the spider essentially hunt over bait and the cricket is probably less likely to bother the T. I've seen both the versicolor and the balfouri nail munching crickets, who didn't even know what hit them. Even if the cricket does run away the first time, it comes back and usually gets nailed the second or third time--highly entertaining!! [/QUOTE]
