First time raising a sling

I recently bought my first sling, it’s a Brachypelma Albiceps less than 1/2 inch and it doesn’t seem to be settling in well at all, I’m slightly worried. Any advice from more experienced keepers would be greatly appreciated.

If you could post a photo of your sling in its enclosure it would give us something to work on so we can give you the best advice.

I added some damp substrate for him and made small burrough for him to use and he doesn’t seem be settling in any.

:T:If you give it some time, your spider will be fine. It can take a while before they feel good. I made some hides for my slings and many would not even use it! :)
