Hi Carsten,
These are in the Theraposinae sub-family, they are an opportunistic burrower. Since yours seems to be near a juvie stage and is wanting to burrow, I would add more substrate now. These can be real bulldozers, what else do they have to do besides eat and drink in their enclosure all night? [emoji3]
