Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 25363" data-attributes="member: 545">She is frequently digging little pits all over her enclosure. Since I only have about 2.5 inches of substrate in there she really can't accomplish much. I thought about heaping the sub onto one side of the container to try to accomodate her. The thing is, what I'm using is dry coco fiber and I'm not sure that's going to work to support a burrow. I've had no experience with burrowing tarantulas (other than with babies, but then that was wet substrate and a teeny burrow; whereas my Rosie is an adult and on the required dry sub)...maybe you all could give me some advice. If she seems to want to burrow, should I set things up so that she can, or is it okay to just leave things as they are? She does have a hide that she uses, btw. Thanks very much. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Here's her enclosure...</blockquote>
