[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 194798, member: 3872"] Nhandu will burrow as slings if you give them depth of substrate. That being said you could keep a half inch sling in a pill jar with good ventilation and damp substrate until about 1" then move it to something a little larger, reducing the depth of substrate to keep it from becoming a perpetual pet hole Even if you don't see it for weeks, wet a portion of the substrate at the top of the enclosure and if it opens a tunnel to the top drop in a tiny feeder like a pinhead cricket or Roach The key to sling keeping is providing moisture at all times without soaking the enclosure or letting it dry out completely, for most terrestrial species other than arid specific [/QUOTE]
