ICU is pretty basic.It's more or less to give your spider some extra warmth,humidity and a stress free environment. Preferably use an enclosure just big enough to hold it.I find margarine or cottage cheese tubs work great.Line with moist paper towel(changing every couple days)couple small holes for ventilation and put it where it'll get some extra warmth..80-85 dgrs is good.Try to find a darker area or at least away from bright light and disturbances.Give it a couple of days and then offer a dead cricket(removing within 24 hrs if not eaten)...live may stress it if it doesn't eat it right away.ICU works well in most cases for quick recovery.If it doesn't recover within a week or so usually means something more serious is wrong....peace..
