G Pulchra Buried Itself

[AZGoose]

My juvenile G Pulchra dug a burrow and then sealed it off...i've not seen if 2+ weeks...should I be concerned?

No need to be concerned, this is completely normal! They can spend months or even years underground with no food. Spider knows best, it'll come out when it needs to!

should I be concerned?

No

That's my thought... possibly premolt or just hiding out. It's abdomen seems to be a decent size...

I'm concerned you didn't take the time to search the site.

No concern mine did the same the day after I got it. I laughed cuz it looked funny at first with just its head buried but then it came out for food on its own.

Basic research would have provided the answer and thus saved me and @viper69, 30 seconds of our lives.

It's normal, it's also normal to be concerned, when mine do this I still get concerned even though I no it's normal and I've had a fair few do it now.

I think it's the not knowing and lack of control we have that makes us worried, anything could be going on when they're buried, sometimes bad, but we can't help either way, the tarantula knows best.

Always wanted one, my P cambridgei did the same thing, when I rehoused it but into a piece of round cork bark and sealed her self in for about a month now I think she molted but still has not came out.

It won’t. Mine stays in its web all day. I’m lucky if I’m up late night that it comes out. Then retreats back in when I go check.
