Tarantula constantly changes enclosure

[IronMaiden]

Anyone have a Tarantula that constantly renovates the enclosure/den? My Seemanni seems to have OCD or something because every 2-3 weeks she feels like she has to change things in the enclosure. Caught her sealing one of the entrances to the burrow today. She has done stuff like this many times since I got her.

My A. seemani does this too....constantly renovating his burrow! Like a mini bulldozer.

Yes

Yep, my A. seemanni and G. pulchra are constantly digging/rearranging.

My G Pulchripes is an eight legged excavator.

Mine is, too, and I love seeing the renovations in progress! I just think it’s so cute, my little sling hard at work making the perfect home.

I guess it's just a species thing. My other Tarantula's just occasionally crawl around all day except for my GBB but it doesn't tweak the enclosure nearly as much as my Seemanni.

Yep, both my C. cyaneopubescens and my A. seemanni do that CONSTANTLY.

My B. boehmei has never been happy with the fake leaves in her enclosure. Moves them constantly and I wonder why she doesn't just bury them. It's pretty fun to watch though.
