While doing my morning check of my animals before work, I noticed my genic sling had once again pushed it's hide against the wall so that it couldn't get inside. I, being the loving arachnid mom I am, moved it back so it had a place to hide. I also filled it's water dish.
I come home from work only to catch it in the act of taking balls of dirt and scattering them around the cage, including in it's water dish and on it's hide (which was moved once again). At this point, I'm just like, "Whatever. I'll just replace it's hide with a piece of cork bark."
As I'm taking out said hide, the little guy decides to grab on to it and enact a tug-o-war game in which the winner keeps the hide. After a few minutes of nudging and pulling, it must've noticed it had no chance of winning, because it scrambled onto the hide and planted itself there. I eventually got it off, but what was supposed to be a quick switch turned into a head to head battle between us. It also probably didn't help that my 2 year old niece was breathing on my neck the whole time observing and yelling, "PIDER! Titi, look at the pider!"
Long story short, my sling likes to make my life a pain. "Easy to care for" pets my ass.
At least it can't move it's hide now
