Hi
I have a 2' B.Smithi kept in a kritter keeper with coco earth a small water dish and a hide. Her hide is up against the side of the kritter keeper and a hole is dug under so she can go inside and I can still keep an eye on her. Everything went fine for the first 2 weeks then all of a sudden she blocked off the entrance to her hide with the substrate. I assumed she was in premolt and didnt want to be disturbed so I left her in there. After a month she is still in there and has not done much so out of curiosity I put my finger in front of her from the outside of the kritter keeper and she attacked it like it was a cricket. I was intrigued so I grabbed a mealworm and i dropped it in a small tiny gap between the hide and the side of the KK and she ate it without hesitation. So im wondering should I still be feeding her even though she completely caved off the front entrance because she still ate the mealworm i dropped in there? Or did she cave off expecting bugs to still slip down the other side, because if she is its not gonna happen without me actually pushing the cricket or mealworm down the tiny gap on the side.
