These guys also came in late last week and are fiesty! Fed them 3-4mm roach nymphs on Thursday and same size crickets yesterday. They took them down hard.

They've webbed up pretty well since these pics and I'm thinking about rehousing them soonish. They have not burrowed at all.

Thanks @ilovebrachys thinking I need to rehouse them sooner than later... like maybe this week.

Any suggestions would be appreciated since they are about half their adult size now and could go into their forever homes.

We have our AF in a 4" glass cube which seems a perfect home for her so anything of a similar size would be good they will settle in quickly and often do a fair amount of webbing.. You gotta love those little butts :)

I have a pair of 3.5" x 3.5" x 4.5" tall Amac boxes I could set up with 3" of substrate, moss and a cork bark hide...

Those are great little butts ;)

One of my favorite dwarfs! You're fortunate, lol. Mine burrowed the day I got it and I haven't seen it since! Lol.

Sounds ideal.. You always create nice enclosures, I'm sure they'll be happy :)
Awww, thanks!

Well, I assume once I give them the right enclosure/housing mine will do the same lol

Fed these guys Saturday and the first sling snagged the cricket hard.
Second sling threw threat poses, attacked the feeder and ran, then hid under the carpet it made (not a molt mat)
Guess I'll mark it premolt, too.

Fed these guys tiny crickets on Thursday, 3 days ago, and they both fed. Guess size does matter.

Rehoused them both today. Made new enclosures from 4x4x3 amac boxes.

Rehousing was easy and after initially hiding they both came out to explore.

Named them CL#1 and CL#2, Click and Clack, regardless, it's hard to tell them apart.
