H Lividum tunnel collaps

My H lididum is only about 2cm and is in a small tub
When i picked up the tub earlier i think its tunnel collapsed, should i try to carefully dig it out or will the spider dig itself out?
I dont think it was just the entrance that collapsed but most of the burrow.
I can look from the bottom of the tub and see right through to daylight but the spiders not in that bit, it must have had a branched off section that it was in when it collapsed.

They usually dig themselves out, but personally I would give him a hand and do it for him.

I'm not sure, it has stopped eating recently so could have done.
The entrance is covered in web but I cant see much else.

because sometimes they will completely cover the entrance with earth so you cant see in, when they are about to shed.
