I am a little concerned about my 3 inch E.murinus juvenile.
I just ( well, 4 or 5 days a go) transferred it to its new habitat ( a shoebox sized tub ), and it still hasn't done any signifigant digging yet ! I am getting anxious for it to do more silking, or start on its new burrow, but it just stays on the surface of the substrate--which is ,btw 100% premoistened peatmoss-- . I'm wondering if I should transplant its cube of tubes/ silk / dirt/ from its last enclosure, to get it a jump start in the new tank, but what do you think ? Will it start to "move in" soon ? I want to get it back on its feeding routine pretty soon, as it hasn't been eating since I moved it. The temp- in the cooler half- is 73 - 76 F , the humidity is very high, and I keep its tub mostly covered , so it is dark in there too. Well, I'd just appreciate any suggestions/ opinions you can offer ! Thanks !!
