[QUOTE="ExMember, post: 164939"] Sounds normal to me. Just a t doing tarantula stuff :) I have 2 hamorii and they are drastically different behavior wise. My sling burrowed months ago and doesn't eat much. It has been burrowed for months and I don't worry. My sub adult literally sits on a leaf and only moves a couple of inches to drink and grab prey. This may sound strange but I have found (for myself) that I had to stop caring to some degree. A tarantula is not like an average pet like a cat or dog (or bird, reptile, hamster etc). They are so alien to us that the best thing for me was to just stop worrying if the t is happy and stuff like that. It'll drive ya nuts. I remember when my first tarantula burrowed and stayed down there for months. His tunnels all collapsed and I was really worried. Thought constantly about digging him up. One day a new tunnel was built and he came out much larger. I'm not saying this to be mean or imply I don't care about my spiders. I just had to detach from the normal ways of caring for my pets when it comes to spiders. They will do what they do and they know what's best. :) [/QUOTE]
