[QUOTE="Salatia, post: 218370, member: 38837"] Ha I'm very fond of my seemani sling to be fair! Annoyingly I put them in peat, with a little sand, and it makes the burrows awfully hard to see. They've burrowed from one end of a small braplast to the other and various routes in between (the 'starter burrow' I created got incorporated somewhere in all of this but was ignored for a good while). The newer guy hasn't done a great deal of digging yet, which is in stark contrast to the sling. I set them up late that night, went to check their water in the morning and they had none. They had a bowl of dirt. They were a little bigger than I'd expected (thus the lesson was learned to have a couple of housing options ready), and I'd put them in the sling tub with a view to moving them the next day when I could grab more substrate anyway, but that only further reinforced the decision! They've taken food, so that's good, and I'm pretty sure they've laid some fine tripwires, but I struggle with the period of 'settling in' as it is, because I don't like them seeming stressed. And I don't believe yelling 'it's okay you're safe here I will feed you lots and you will be comfy and warm' is very reassuring to them ♀️ [/QUOTE]
