1.5" B. Hamorii - odd behaviour?

[poodude289]

When I first got this T, it utilized its hide completely and I noticed mold forming, and I decided to do an overhaul and fix some issues. Ever since, the T grabs food from the open, brings it to the hide and eats it inside, and then goes back out. Why would it only go into the hide to eat and just go back out? It doesn't stay in it any more. It hasn't molted so this isn't some behavioral change due to size increase.

It stays in the open, grabs the food, brings it to the hide, eats it inside, and then leaves again.

It's a perfectly normal defensive behavior. Half of my T's do it too.

Nobody likes to have unexpected dinner guests show up during a meal . . . especially when your primary weapons system is otherwise occupied.

That's a great behavior! I have had Xenesthis that when fed set out and you barely touch their enclosure and they become kicking machines. Heck, who am I kidding! Stand on the other side of the room and look at them and they wanna flick them hairs!!! Happy Spoodering!
