OKay, so I've been a 'Tarantula Keeper' for 8 days now, and this is definitly the dumbest thing I've done yet.
I decided I would feed Peso last night since it's been about 6 days since he last chowed down. Now, if you've been reading my posts, you know that Peso (my 1" G.Pulchra) doesn't burrow very much, and prefers to cling to the sides of his babyfood jar. So, I started a little burrow for him with my pinky finger. Well, I dropped an upper cricket body part into his jar, but it went to the bottom of his burrow. Since he never goes in it, I figured he'd never find it there, so, using my exacto knife, i tried to fish out the cricket head. All I ended up doing was moving around the substrate, and now the cricket head is burried somewhere in the jar. It's going to have to come out, but i don't want to move/freak out Peso. Suggestions, please. Like I said; dumbest thing yet.
