All my T's look fat.

yeah esp if they are looking huge and refusing to eat is an indication too. normally if theyre big n fat and start to burrow they are in premolt and depending on your T's they may be burrowed for some time. how often are you feeding them/what size food? my g. pulchripes sling I power fed just for a few molts and she has a booty that looks like an engorged tick. shes also been fasting for a lil over a week and is showing signs of premolt. i bet we are both in for some molty molty time.
Most slings will look fat after a feeding. There's a chance they aren't going into premolt but as they won't need to eat for a while they're trying to find somewhere to hide therefore burrowing.
I use something like this for slings that don't have a cork bark or anywhere to hide. It's very easy to make and bottletops are always easy to find around the house. Not all my slings used them but a large number did

I have more than enough cork bark. You need some?
What a cunt of a reply. I don't need but thanks for the concern. I was making a suggestion as the last post update of your Lp enclosures they had nowhere to hide. Maybe if you have plenty of cork bark you should provide them some?
I put a hole in the substrate so they can hide. This post wasn't about my L.P.'s it was about my H Mac OBT and my G pulchripes, I was trying to be nice.

No I'm not, but thanks.@Rs50matt was trying to give you some helpful advicebased on your previous posts-I gather you are referring to your LP slings starting to burrow?
if so in the pictures you put up of there enclosures there is no cork bark in there or any other kind of hide?
You came back with a stupid reply to genuine help. I made a suggestion for a hide and you decided to be a cunt.
Maybe if you could engage your brain you’d maybe look at putting some cork bark with your lps so they have a hide. No matter the species the same idea applies.
I’m quite reserved in my replies to people’s threads. I only comment on what I have info on. Just like me you are a very small fish on here with **** all knowledge or experience. Maybe you should look back at your dumb replies on other threads and reevaluate your position.

@Tnoob and @Rs50matt Will you both moderate your language, we have youngsters on the forum and should be setting them a good example. May I suggest you remind yourselves of the Forum Rules https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/tarantula-forum-community-guidelines.21/

My small slings would eat about two meals then close up their burrow for a month or two.
