Nicolas has brought up sex and substrate type.
If it is a male, possibly mature, is only interested in mating and won't burrow.
If female, she may need more time to dig a burrow, no set time frame each has their own characteristics in doing this.
Substrate for lividum needs to be moist, tropical asian species, topsoil with vermiculite added (10%) is what I've been using for years.
Definitely a beautiful species, one I adore and breed, when they show themselves. Lol!
Have patience, its eating and has water.
