Hello everyone,
After searching around the message board for a bit I was unable to find any discussion threads which dealt with my problem; so I’m posting it here:
I recently bought a juvenile Brachypelma Smithi (Mexican Redknee) who is eating 2-4 medium sized crickets a week. I see him catch and suck the juices out of the crickets but unfortunately I have no idea where they disappear to after he's done his meal.
I've heard that the cricket corpses should be removed to avoid mites and other unwanted pests but I cant' seem to find the remains. I’m using a fine “Jungle Mix” terrain in his tank which doesn’t make things easier.
Does anyone have any tips on what I can do? What EXACTLY do the remains look like? Thanks in advance for any help!
