Curly hair I never see.

I dug it out and put food in cage and was sweet to it. The next day gone underground.

Why would you dig it out? Thats just mean.

Don't dig up a T if you don't have to. They will come out when they are ready and willing (hungry, thirsty, etc)

My curly is almost exclusively sensorial. I am lucky it dug against the glass in the back so I have a peep hole into the burrow

I feel your pain. I bought my 2 inch T. vagan 11/6. She burrowed deep. Haven't seen her since 11/11. My son laughs at me, says I paid $20 to look at dirt. So I another, and another, and one more... for now. Repticon's in two weeks!

If I gave it cork bark instead of sponge bob pineapple, would it stay out? LOL.

Worth a try in my opinion, cork bark is always good and mine do seem to like sitting on it. My curly was also an underground dweller until he became a mature male - he is on top a lot now but only because he's looking for a lady. Please don't dig them out though, it will scare them and make them even less likely to feel safe enough to sit on top. Would you like a giant to come and shake you out of your carefully made cosy bed?!

I set up Blink mini cameras on my tarantulas that burrow. I catch them out quite a bit and dont have to disturb them. If they close their burrow I leave it be. The door is probably closed for a reason.

Does your curly hair have a water dish?

The reason I ask, is because many terrestrial species burrow looking for water, moisture. When moisture is abundant and life above ground is easy and non-threatening they often don't burrow, unless they're hiding an egg sac.

Is your tarantula burrowing because it's thirsty?

 

[arachbiodude]

Has a big water dish.

You have the opposite situation than I do; my albo never digs, just walks around the enclosure without a care. I really want to see some digging action.
