i know i post a lot of questions and i'm sorry lol, i just really wanna understand it and get real answers from real owners!
why is my curly hair tarantula sling covering the entrances of its burrows as if its going into premolt, but also digging its way back out and making a hole in the substrate that is placed at the entrances of its burrow??
im struggling to understand this behaviour, i thought my T was going into premolt as after it webbed its enterance, it took all the web away and a day later it had covered two of the enterances to its burrow and when i checked on it last, there was a gap/hole in the main entrance of its burrow again and i saw it peeking out with said substrate in its mouth.
how do i fully know if my T is going into premolt if its acting abit funny like this?? im a first T owner and my little curly hair has never acted like this so it does make me think that it definitely is preparing for a molt; if its still peeking out does that mean i can still offer food?? and if so are there any reasonable ways to crush a crickets head if i already struggle catching the crickets themselves??
i need help with learning and knowing pretty much anything so if anyone could give me answers on anything to do with this behaviour, and anything to do with premolting and how to handle a premolt, and also how i can fill up the water dish (aka a bottle lid) if when i open the enclosure it sort of startles my T, which obviously i dont wanna do if and when it ends up molting??
if anyone takes the chance to answer i am really greatful. thank you. 🩶
