My slings burried themselves

[Sheepman]

Hi guys!
Im quite new to the hobby, i have my slings since october, so sorry if my question is amateur. I got them as 1,5-2 cm long, one is a B. Emilia the other is a B. Boehmei. They have eaten very well, and after 3 months i decided to rehouse them into bigger enclosures, because i started to think that their previous ones were too small, and they didnt feel safe to molt. The Emilia molted after a few days in her new enclosure! However I messed up with the Boehmie, as i stressed her out and buried herself in the soil, and closed it for the following day when i wanted to retry rehousing her. Eversince she has been burried down there, for nearly 3 months. I ve read that its totally okay, and they will molt and when they feel safe open their tunnel again. But its been 3 months now, eversince she hasnt eaten nor molt, im starting to worry, every page i read says that a T this size should molt every few months... On the top of that, after eating few times the Emilia did the same... I think she hasnt eaten enough to enter premolt phase, she only ate 3-4 times. Should i try dropping dead/alive small roaches near the previous entrance of the tunnel?
On the top of even that, this morning i saw that maybe mold has started to grow in the Boehmei's enclosure, white dots around the glass, so i want to rehouse her asap.
What are your thoughts about the situation?

Thanks a lot, im really worried about them!

it’s either dead or alive. Your call.

You could try offering pre-killed food at the entrance of the burrow. Make sure to provide a water dish if you don’t have one already.

You can't see them in their burrow at all through the side of the enclosure?

Need any pics you had before they buried themselves. If they had big meals or were already fat when you got them, they don’t need more food to get them to their next molt. I had one that only ate twice between molts (still plenty fat). Also need pics of the mold area as best you can.

Both of them are alive, i can se the boehmei clearly, i cant see the emilia eversince she burrowed. I tries to take the best pictures of the boehmei, i only had one picture of the emilia, but that was right after molting and a pretty bad picture as well. I link another picture of the small white dots (which is mold imo)

Oh dude, they're totally fine. Desperate need of a rehouse for the bigger one though. Poor thing could barely move!

The last pic looks freshly molted, could you see a molt anywhere in there?

 

[Sheepman]

Thanks! I really hoped that they are fine. I dont have any pictures eversince the molting of the emilia, that last picture is about 1-1,5 month old.
But the boehmei closed its tunnel, should i open it to rehouse him? i really want it to move to a bigger enclosure, but every page said that i should never open the closed tunnel.

Fat one should stay put if burrow is sealed

They both are good size. I wouldn’t worry about not eating. That also doesn’t look like mold to me. Are those spots moving? Springtails maybe? It’s pretty moist in there and springtails love moisture. If they springtails, they are good bugs and won’t harm your T. They eat decaying matter.
Another option for rehouse is to open the lid and put the entire vial in the new enclosure (if it fits), close the new enclosure lid and let them come out if they want to.
