But if you are new to T's & only have 1 or 2 T's, you will not be the only new owner who feels the need to check after only a few weeks & most T's survive owners worries.I have T's I have not seen for 6 months plus & a T which  I brought months ago, that I have only ever seen the legs of, once or twice & that is only because I keep checking down it's burrow with a torch. As long as your T is not molting, then moving the bark will do it no harm. But, this is what young T's often do. In the wild, it's how they survive.</blockquote>
