[QUOTE="kormath, post: 121084, member: 4199"] My 2 cents. The size of the containers they're in now is fine, you'll want to move them to a bit larger after their next molt, 2 to 3 times their legs span for the width (not length) of the container. All T's need a hide, all creatures have a fight or flight instinct. It's better for T's to have someplace to hide for the flight instinct rather than be forced into the fight instinct as they have no place to go to get away. No need to remove the T when you place in the temporary hide. For water i agree with the rest, you have enough room there to put a soda bottle cap in as a water dish. If you're worried about drowning, like [USER=3458]@Enn49[/USER] said the T's won't drown, but the crickets or whatever you use for prey might. For mine i put aquarium gravel in the bottle cap so the prey insects have something to keep them from drowning. Those 2 like to dig. so you can do something for their hide like cut a paper cup in half, they'll burrow out underneath it usually and make their own home. [s]They don't look like they're in premolt from your pics. My guess is they're still getting adjusted to their homes. That can take a few weeks sometimes and they don't usually eat while they adjust.[/s] Edit: Just read the OP again. add the hide, i'd put money on they'll behave and eat normally after ;) [/QUOTE]
