Curly hair not himself

[Squeekee35]

I had to rehouse my curly hair to a bigger cage. 2 weeks ago now. He is not digging or eating since the move. Do you think he will get back to normal? Yes he has a hide and water dish

Hello,
Mine when I rehoused her was like couple of months to get used to her new enclosure. And only started to use her burrow 3 or 4 months after. I belive it is normal behavior for many Ts

Mine rehoused about 2 months ago. Been hiding in burrow since. She occasionally blocks it off with coco balls, then reopens a few days later

Sounds like he is still acclimating in his new home. Male??? Male albopilosum's tend to stop digging and burrowing a little before and after maturing.

Is he about due for a molt?

No he just molted a couple of weeks ago. He ate his first worm in his old cage. But now that I moved him he won't eat. I am not too worried about that right now. He has been molting like every 2 months or so. So I don't think he is ready. I am just worried he is not happy in new digs......

Any update?

Sometimes they fast... reasons are not always clear.

If the abdomen is THICC I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure it has access to fresh water at all times

Still not burrowing or eating. His abdomen looks ok.

I'm honestly not worried about that spider looking at that pic

Can you post a pic of the enclosure? Has he been up on the glass like that most of the time?

That’s a stressed terrestrial. Except for filling the water bowl, just leave it alone. If the sub is damp let it dry all the way out. Try feeding in like a month. Maybe.

Did my pic of his tank show up? I thought I posted it but don't see it

He usually hides in his hide. But now that the weather is getting nicer my Ts have come out more.

Best practice dictates limiting free climbing height to 1.5-2x the DLS (diagonal leg span) of the spider to prevent harm if the spider falls from the highest spot inside the enclosure.

The easiest way to achieve that is by filling the enclosure with compacted substrate till the desired height is met.
