Hi all, I'm looking for some help.
I fed my B. Emilia a cricket yesterday morning and she hasn't shown any interest in eating it. Im not concerned about this as she is looking lovely and plump and I imagine she will be molting soon. My problem is how to remove the cricket from her enclosure as it has set up camp deep in my T's tunnel/burrow area. My T has been hanging out midway down the tunnel, so I need to somehow reach down past the T (who has never been handled or poked around much at all so I'm not sure how she will react to this) and remove the cricket without disrupting the T or her tunnel too much. I will try to attach a picture to show how everything is positioned (red dot shows entrance to tunnel, yellow dot shows where T is, blue dot is cricket - sorry for rubbish quality pic, everything in my living room is too reflective!)
I also don't have any long feeding tongs anymore and just flick the food in, which means that I am very ill-equipped for this scenario. The cricket has now been in there for around 32 hours so I am keen to get it out soon as I am aware it is risky to leave them for very long.
What would you do? Any tips welcome as she has never refused food before so this is new. (I have only had her for 1 year) Thank you!
