| My P.cav has been burrowing ALOT and not eaten anything in a month. I think He is molting he is only a few months old.
My issue is I threw a couple crickets in days ago and they retreated into his burrow that consists of several tunnels how can I get the crickets out without ruining his burrow? should I be worried about them harming my scorp? | |

| I'd be a little worried. If he molts, he'll be vulnerable to cricket bites. I'd keep a close eye. Maybe setting out some fruit far outside the burrow to lure them out? | |

| They'll come out at night make sure the water is deep enough for the crix but not for the scorp. They'll drown. If that doesnt work....destroy the burrow. He'll rebuild. | |

| I pu in a piece of potato and I caught one. There are still 2 more.
I really don't want to wreck his burrow it's soooo cool the piece of drift wood is like a cave he has three openings around the tank and all the tunnels lead up to one opening in the casm of the driftwood. | |
