In the last year or so, as I've been re-doing some of my older enclosures to allow the tarantulas to burrow. However, in that time, the substrate has "shrunk" away from the enclosure walls allowing direct "air shafts" into the burrow, and causing minor collapses.
I assume this disrupts the micro-climate in the burrow.
I suspect this shrinkage is also due to drying, but I suspect its not wise to try and dampen the substrate with the tarantula still inside.
What, if anything, should be done? The substrate is 2 parts coconut choir to 1 part top soil.
