Hey People
Haven't been on here for a few days, so hello everyone!
I rehoused my tarantula into a slightly larger tank, despite advice I had been given. I think that Ice Cube is well suited to this tank, as it isn't so big, has a very simple substrate, flower pot and water dish layout, and so the prey being noticed and caught by the 3cm juvenile, or as a lot of people will note it as, 'sling', should be a very easy thing for IC to do.
Also, I will no longer have to keep disturbing him/her by opening the lid any more; and so this should allow it settle in quickly.
I rehoused him on Saturday, and whilst I was asleep Sunday morning, he/she barricaded himself/herself in his/her hide.
Of course I know this is a very normal and natural thing to do, but I doubt it started moulting as it had eaten two crickets that weeks and its bald patch was still pink.
Any way, since Saturday I haven't seen him/her come out. Fair enough, it's probably burrowed into its own network of tunnels, and is still getting used to the new enclosure.
It is now Wednesday and I want to drop in a cricket; can I do so without knowing what exactly my t. is up to?
Cheers everyone,
Rich!
