Don't give it any food until the molt, which will happen soon (if the spot is already black, it should be less than one month). When the molt is completed, don't offer it any food before one week - ten days.For the burrow question, just leave it be. B albopilosum don't always use a burrow in captivity. If it needs one, it'll dig it. If not, then fine. She knows best. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I'm also a worry guy, and even after many years in the hobby, I'm still getting worried when one of my Ts fast for too long! Or if it doesn't behave as I thought it should! But I'm always relieved afterwards... thankfully!</blockquote>
