Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 72379" data-attributes="member: 4199">I've had their burrow collapse on them before, first time it freaked me out and i tried to help and dig the spider out.  It just made him dig farther into the collapsed burrow.  2nd time i left him be and he dug himself out, then went back down to dig out the collapsed part.  I'm sure i could hear him swearing the whole time. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />they'll dig out the burrow to fit their new size and push the molt out, or parts of it, with the tailings from the burrow resizing.</blockquote>
