If its closed off its burrow just leave feeding its probs going to molt .
Will do, thanks for the reply x
Sometimes rehousing, travel, shipping can be stressful and new. This can cause a molt. Or it could also just be moving in to it's new digs. They can take a bit of time to adjust. One of my t. Vagans though has always kept a big bulldozer of dirt in it's entrance, it's a juvenile, getting close to sub adult. I've left pre killed food out and it's gone by morning. Today, I fed it and it's burrows still closed off and out of no where as the feeders legs were getting tangled in the dirt webbing, the little bugger sprang from the dirt webbing and snagged the dubia right up. Was really neat to see the whole ambush situation happen. Mine could just be"special" as my other t. Vagans chills out on top , has a burrow for when it wants. basically acts like the regular t should and they came at the same time. Lol I never disturb Thier burrows or try to uncover them. I guess this one just likes to play in the dirt.
Will do, I was thinking that that's why I was a little concerned, urm im not sure but I dont think so, I will post some photos when im back from work, thanks for the help x
Yeah well if im honest I did have to put him in something a little smaller recently, he wasn't in a large enclosure but it was a little large for a sling because it was what I bought him in, so I moved him to a smaller enclosure hoping he would be more confident and that id maybe see a little more of him cos he is a pet hole atm but idk if thats just because he's a sling, that's how mine is, he always has dirt covering his enclosure, and I dont wanna bother him but I also don't wanna put live food in just incase he is moulting, I think ill have to start pre-killing his tbh, I bet that was so cool to see, I cant wait for mine to grow a bit, hes still tiny! Im so jealous lol, im bought mine because I thought they made good display spiders and was out a lot but again it may just be because hes a sling that i dont see him so much atm, hopefully anyways, he sounds awesome, yeah I think im just gonna wait it out now cos I dont wanna disturb him, will just make sure his water dish is full and leave him something pre-killed, is there anyway to tell if they've eaten when its pre-killed? Thank you so much for all your help x
sorry this isn't the best photo but this was about a week ago when I rehoused himI hope so, fingers crossed lol, she's lovely, i cant wait till mines that size but I know it could take a while lol x
