I have a question about the substrate I am using for some of my more humidity-loving inverts. I am using a mix of vermiculite and peat moss -- not sure of the exact proportions but I'd guess about 4:6 vermiculite to peat.
My H.lividum seems to have found her substrate perfect for burrowing and has dug a huge u-shaped burrow about 8" deep and 7" wide from entrance-to-entrance.
My costa-rican zebras, on the other hand, don't seem to be burrowing much at all. One has taken up refuge in the peat cup I provided her, but my little guy still stays exposed most of the time.
Any suggestions? Is it potentialy a substrate problem? Humidity problem? Something else?
Cheers,
Dave
