My vinegaroons made some real elaborate burrows with multiple entrances, chambers and tunnels. They are juveniles that range between 1-1.5 inches so I imagine they will molt at some point in time. After they molt do they drag the molt out of the burrow or do I need to go fishing for it and pull it out. If I need to dig it out I will surely ruin their hard work. What is everyone’s experience with Vinegaroons after molting?

While I've never had one of my vinegaroons molt (I've only kept adults) my experience with inverts in general is that it's never necessary to remove a molt. You may want to remove it - for sexing purposes or just to save it as a curiosity - in which case you have to decide whether it's worth it to potentially destroy the burrows to get to it, but as far as the health and well being of your animals is concerned, there is no harm in leaving it there.
