Is there a downside to destroying my pet tarantula's burrow?
The upside is that I can monitor its growth, and I get to see it build another burrow.
But what effect, if any, does this have on the spider? It might be temporarily stressed, sure. But is that really all that bad? I mean, in the wild, animals would be trying to EAT it. So how much does it really hurt the tarantula to destroy its burrow just so it has to build another one?
And before you start accusing me of abusing animals AGAIN, let me say that I ask just out of curiosity. Do not assume that I have ever intentionally detroyed my tarantul;a's home, or that I ever intend to do so.
So, JUST out of curiosity, does anyone know just how harnful it would be to destroy my tarantula's home so that I would get to see it more often?
