It may be the screen lid that is responsible for the damaged leg. They can get their tarsal claws stuck in them. I would replace that fast.

Your enclosure is head and shoulders above what we usually see on here for first-time owners. You clearly did a little research Just be careful with this species. They're quite defensive, generally speaking.

Never ever under any circumstances try to stop a bleeding legs with super glue. One should always use paper mache, that way you can unwrap them like a Christmas present when they are healed.

I thought the same.

7 inches of sub, slightly larger water dish, a small stsrter burrow about 2 inches deep, and drilled plexiglass beneath the lid. How long does it generally take before they start to burrow?

Great job!

It could start burrowing tonight, next week, or next month. I rehoused two subadult females about four months ago, and neither has done anything beyond heavily webbing the starter burrow I gave them. However, I fully expect to wake up one morning to mounds of excavated dirt in their enclosures.

I have an Aphonopelma seemani that will make a burrow all the way to the bottom of 8 inch substrate in one night. She's adorable.
