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.</p></blockquote><p></p>
