Well, I've had my H. Lividium for about a week now, (got it on the 11th), and she's doing very well. I gave her her first meal 2 days ago, and she took 3 large crickets happily.
When I set up her tank, I gave her ~5" potting soil, and pre-dug a burrow for her (covering the outside with black construction paper too). Although she does spend a lot of time in her burrow, she hasn't done any more digging, webbing, etc. She also spends a lot of time out and about. I would have expected her to do some modifications by now, since I didn't really make it deep enough for her to fully hide in the first place.
I have been keeping a damp handtowel over the top of her cage to help keep the moisture up for her. Maybe the whole container is dark enough that she feels she doesn't need to hide...could this be the case?
