I ordered this sling from Jamies (if i recall correctly) back in January. He arrived 1/27/16 and burrowed down quite quickly after trying to escape a few times when he was put in his new home.
I've seen him once since during maintenance. If i remember right, my son was filling the water dish and bumped the cork bark hide and it fell over. Either way the hide got knocked over and the abdomen of the T was sticking out of his little burrow underneath. So we dropped in a roach and he ate like a champ. Took the roach and made a new burrow with the roach in his mouth. Little guy hates being seen.
We replaced the hide and within an hour or so he had fixed his burrow and blocked entrance to the hide again. He hasn't been seen since and has left no opening in the substrate for a feeder to crawl in and become room service.
Anyone else have a "Lemon Patch"? I can't find any care sheets on them anywhere. Google search points to the Pumpkin patch sheets. But H. sp Columbia are active and out and about, at least my sons is anyway. He's not yet burrowed away to hide forever. He has webbed the hell out of his cage and spends time under the web and in the hide, but you at least get to see him.
So what's the deal with the H. triseriatus? did i buy a box of pet dirt on this one? Do they come out eventually? At his size (3/4") after 2 months i'd hope he's molted and should be hungry right?
My son and i were discussing removing the hide and checking to see if it's still alive as we haven't seen it since the hide was knocked over a week or 2 after we got him. So we're going on 2 months now without food. I know they can go months without eating, but the smaller slings still concern me when they do.
Anyone else here have one of these? i'm sure i'm concerned for no reason, like usual
but confirmation would be nice.
