I know I've seen a post about this before, but I did a search and couldn't find it, so I apologize for the redundancy.

Anyway, I gave my 1.5"-2" g.rosea sling 2 crickets almost 3 days ago, and she hasn't eaten them. I tried removing after 24 hours, but they're in her burrow and I can't get to them. After humanely trying to remove them, I tried to squish them, but also failed. I'm concerned that my T may be nearing a molt.

Should I just take the T out and go after the crickets (which will probably result in part of the burrow being distroyed) or does anyone have any other advice?

have you tried using a pair of smooth forceps to maybe retrieve the crickets?

yep. they're quick, and the container is a deli cup, so I don't have much room to try and grab them with the spider in there. I'm kinda clumsy I don't want to accidently hit her.
