Feather duster injury

[Bettacrazy]

My feather duster fell out of his tube he's just sitting there with his bristles opening and closing rapidly. Is there any way to put him back in ? Im worried sick.

if he won't go back into his house try making a makeshift one out of straw that is the same size as his original home

the straw idea is working. I can see him stretching his goopy stuff into the straw!

I'm betting he won't make it. Hope I'm wrong, but when they leave their tubes, it's not good often. Blowing a crown (feathers) is one thing, but when the whole worm is out and not hidden somewhenre already working on another tube, the outcome is doubtful. Didja have it in a heavy flow area that it may not have liked? They will leave and start anew sometimes when that happens and it could be months before you see it again.
