[QUOTE="Incompletegeek, post: 171368, member: 28474"] Thanks guys, will go down this route - feeding 1 cricket at a time. Annoyingly (scarily?) the foliage is at the back and you have to slide the whole lid off to get the wooden tweezers in there to extract the crickets... With regards to the enclosure being too big I’ve had an idea but would really appreciate your thoughts as I’m not sure how good an idea it is. I’m thinking of splitting it in two, down the middle, with some Perspex glued in place and then sawing the lid into two to allow both sides to be opened independently. I could then use it to house both my G pulchra and B Smithi. I would use three sheets of Perspex for the divider. The one in the middle would be taller to stop the two halves of the lid sliding over one another (act as a horizontal guide) and the lids would sit on the two sandwiching side pieces (cut lower to act as a rail). Is it an issue if the two tarantulas can see each other? If the divider was opaque are they still able to detect each other with another sense? Might as well use this lockdown constructively to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible! Thanks, Max [/QUOTE]
