Is my B. boehmei fine? I'm worried

[Jpetan]

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I bought my first T last Monday and received it on Wednesday. From the first day she is hidden in her shelter, I tried to feed him once, but he refused a cricket. Is this normal? I try to disturb her as little as possible. I leave you a photo of your terrarium and the humidity and temperature in Celsius parameters. Any help is welcome, thank you very much.

Hide is too large- have you taken a look at tarantula burrows in general? You should.

Humidity is useless

Behavior is fine based on your words

Completely normal, give him time to adjust. As viper mentioned as well, smaller hide would help as he will feel less in the open and overall more secure.
More substrate as well will help him feel safer and give the opportunity to burrow/dig a bit. You can always put a smaller bowl as well to give more space and keep that bowl for when he's adult.

Definitely more substrate and if you push the hide down a little bit into that larger amount of coco fiber, it will work. They take a little while to settle into their new enclosure and feel safe. I often give them a week to settle before trying to feed them.

Thanks everyone for the help, I will do what you told me. I'll tell you more about her later. Ty again

Yes this is very normal. It will eat when it’s ready to, likely not before that. Until then, wait!

You don’t need to be measuring those, that’ll only complicate things! Room temps and environments are just fine.

and I agree about the enclosure recommendations. More substrate for sure!
