yes the carpet will eat and kill everything it can. I did have a condi mix up with mine just a few days ago, I thought it was too late and nothing I could do so I didnt go diving in to pull them apart. They never got twisted up and never stuck together at all. After a few hours they went thier separate ways with no issue.
That doesnt take away from the carpets aggression, be very weary of them touching other items.
