As well as drilling small air holes we also create a larger hole which we
use a bit of blue tack or tissue to bung up, this is used for feeding and
watering the huntmans with out opening the lid. For watering you can use a
syringe or dripper bottle though make sure you have deep substrate to hold
the water. For feeding we use a salt shaker (like the ones they have in
cafe's with a single hold) which we fill with micro crickets and just pour
them in. The salt shaker method is also ideal for feeding lots of slings
quickly. Another good method for using small crickets is to use a small
brush with a wide head to swip them into pots or down holes.

When rehousing and unpacking huntsmans if you do it in your bath it gives
you a little more time to react should they make a run for it. If your
reflexes are not quick enough I would even go one stage further and fill the
bath with water so you can fish them out when they jump out the pot.
