Tarantula not burrowing

[jacob bott]

So I got my first tarantula about a week ago, it was a B. Smithi. And I am pretty sure they are supposed to make a burrow, it has not burrowed yet. It has a half log that is goes in a lot. I don't know if a log is a substitute for a burrow. The substrate is around 3-4 inches deep, I know this isn't enough and I have more I'm going to put in it probably tomorrow. It hasn't dug at all anywhere. Also it is around 4 inches, I'll post a picture. Anyways someone please let me know if he's fine or whatever the reason he's not burrowed yet is. And let alone my use of he or him, it's unsexed.

At that size B. hamorii (smithi) don't burrow, they're happy to sit out in the open. It's only as slings that they burrow so don't worry yours is quite normal.
