Problem with H.Lividum

[maddox]

I bought the young female of Haplopelma lividum above two weeks ago. I think that quite good has conditions. The problem consists in this that she did not even begin still to dig. The whole time is on the surface. had someone the similar case ?? I ask for the opinion. ThanX a lot

I've heard of this before, give it some time. Make shure the rest of the conditions (temp. humidity) good. You can also try to make a small beginning of a hole.

Make sure she has enough so substrate...she could have tried to dig while you where sleeping maybe and thought it wasnt deep enough she she didnt bother.. you have her in a critter keeper or a tank or a tub?

They sometimes take a while to start burrowing, I'm told. You can try pre-starting a burrow for her and see what happens.

This is normal. I have owned a few females that did not burrow or even try for up to a month, and then one day when I came home they were gone. Poof. So enjoy it while you can cause soon you will mostly see the tips of her legs if that.

Oh and if you keep the substrate a bit moist they love that.
