A. Avicularia on the ground

[Muawiyah]

Hello,
My avicularia sling has been staying on the ground for about a week now. I’ve had it since the end of February, it was eating well and was always hanging at the top, but constantly roving around.
About a week ago I noticed it slip and it fall into its water dish. I couldn’t see any injury but it has been staying on the ground since.
I offered it food but I didn’t touch it.
Is it injured or premolt?
grateful for any advice/insight x

Often an avic on the ground is not what you want to see. Has it eaten since it's gone to ground? What is the ambient temperature where the TS container is kept?

I think the response from the other forum scared them away from this post here.

Sorry, I posted on arachnoboards also. @octanejunkie its kept at 20-23c/68-73f. And it hasn’t ate since it went to ground.
I changed the substrate out to bone dry coco choir, added a vents to the bottom to promote air flow and it’s climbed back up
