New T owner, scared I’m doing something wrong.

[fasttimesach]

Hello! I got a pink toe tarantula yesterday. It came home with me in a plastic container, and i set the container in its new enclosure so it could make its way out when it wanted to because i didn’t want to stress it out any more than it already had been. It’s tucked itself in the corner of the container and has had its legs pulled up over its face, I’m extremely worried i’m doing something wrong. Is there anything I can do or is it best to leave it be?

Really difficult to offer any advice with as little info as you've provided...

Anyway, welcome to the hobby

Reads like a typical stress response from a tarantula. Use a paintbrush and a changing station to get that kitty in its new home.

Can we see a pic of the setup?

How's you pink toe doing?
I'm with birdonfire. Paint brush seems to work well. I did sort of the same with my GBB. Was a mistake. Same type thing, except webbed itself into the box by next day just to make things extra fun. Now I use cup and brush.

Long zip ties are gentle with little to no chance of injury to you or your T

Kinda rude that the OP has been back multiple times yet not responding to anyone.
