One of the Blackies all webbed up, you can't see him/ but he/she is in the big leaf.
The other one is still walking around the habitat and still not eating.

The other Blackie webbed up in the corner, then came back out??? Proceeded to crawl around some more. Looking very dark and lethargic. I have to have faith I have not killed an innocent creature by accident. The other one that is still webbed in, looks dark and has not moved at all. They are both the same color, but one not in a nest web worries me.

Cleaned out habitat and put them closer together, all is well. I even put in the Clover that was left in Stoey's habitat just in case he/she went in there. The tiny two on top is where if Stoey stayed is.
