Curly Hair Dirt infront of hide

Hi,
My Curly hair (sling) fluffy had no signs of moult, no bald abdomen etc.
Woke up and checked on him he’s put dirt all over the front of his hide and can see through the glass that by his spinarets is bald. Is this him in pre-moult and should I still try to feed him?
Any advice is helpful and appreciated!
Thank you!

Tliltocatl albopilosum slings are notorious diggers and will often dig to the very bottom of their containers just for the fun of it.
If his bald patch darkens then you will know it's about to moult. You can try feeding but if it's not eaten within 24 hours remove the food item.
