Another question.

[Richard Simmonds]

Hi again to everyone.
As some people will be aware, i am a new T owner, and after a couple of weeks of having her, was a little worried to find my 2" B. smithi had coverd the entrance to her burrow with substrate, and that is the last i have seen of her. Now 4 weeks later, still no sign of her and i am still worried. Is it a big no no to open up the burrow and see if she,s ok, or like any new parent, should i just relax and trust that she will be ok. Have been making sure the humidty is ok, and have been keeping the water bowl topped up. Any clever people got any clues or reasons, just to put my mind at ease.

This isn't all that uncommon with slings and juvies. It's possible your tarantula is getting ready for a moult. Just keep the water dish topped, and you can offer a cricket if you like, just be sure to remove it if it remains uneaten after 12 hours.
