Advice please.

I have a juvi OBT (around 2" dls) that is driving me to distraction.
I'll give the time line of what has been going on.

6th Feb - fed and ate 2 crickets.
8th Feb - rehoused it from a 4" glass cube into an 8x8x12" glass arboreal tank. It slid out of the catch cup (only about half an inch) landing on its back. I left it thinking it would right itself but when that didn't happen I thought it must be about to moult and I'd disturbed it so I left it alone.
10th Feb - decided to right it and all seemed well.
11th Feb - back on its back so I flipped it back over and later found it having a drink.
12th Feb - seen trying to climb the glass but not able to.
14th Feb - on its back again
15th Feb - still on its back so I flipped it over again.
17th Feb - on its back again so flipped it back
18th Feb - on its back yet again
19th Feb - flipped it back over and shortly after found it attempting to get under the wood. Good sign I thought.
20th Feb - it is now on its back in the front corner of the container

I can't decide if it's trying to moult or if its trying to climb the glass and falling off as it's in premoult.
What would you good people do?

Would probably take it out of an arboreal setup and add more sub.

I'd thought about doing that but I've always kept my OBTs as arboreals with great success but I'm beginning to think I may have to give up on this one and give it a terrestrial set up.

You are the OBT master though, so you'd know better than me. But that is what I would do in this scenario.

@Ratmosphere Lol, I wouldn't go that far but I've never had one give this much trouble.

I never even knew they could be kept arboreal, I've always kept mine fossorial. Do have the Monocentropus Balfouri communal set up as, sort of, semi arboreal, there still small though And keep all my Baboon Tarantulas fossorial.

@AndrewClayton They are semi-arboreal. My first one webbed a tunnel right up the back corner of her tank, a full 18". she had an opening at the top onto a web platform where she spent most of her time and a doorway at the bottom where she'd come out for a drink and throw her rubbish out every few months. The whole of the tunnel was decorated with bits of her moults.

A quick update.
I flipped it upright yesterday afternoon and the good news is it has stayed upright, had a wander round and a drink.

Ziga managed to resist the temptation to climb the glass after that last time and settled for pottering around on the substrate always eating well until 10 days ago when I found it on it's back. Sadly I was too late to help, it had already died.
