My ivories recently had babies and it coincided with needing a change of substrate, I decided to move the adults to a new enclosure and leave the babies to grow a bit before I messed with them.

To this end I put some apple in to tempt the adults out, it was mostly successful, I've managed to relocate 4 out of 6 (haven't seen a sign of the other 2 and they're usually mad for apple so I assume they're molting).

Unfortunately, the apple also tempted the babies (see picture) and when I went to remove it the next day it was covered in little ones. It's now starting to go moldy so I really want to remove it before I get pests, is there any way to safely move the little ones?

Sorry for the slightly convoluted story.

Found in southern UK in a forested area, mid afternoon on an overcast day. Photos not taken by me so apologies if they're not up to scratch.
