Recently I had to change my tarantula's bedding and clean her tank. I thought it would be interesting to dig a small burrow for her, so I did so near her hideaway. I changed her bedding about three days ago and she has been standing on top of her hideaway for three days without coming down. When I got up this morning she was touching the new bedding a little but still on top of her hideaway. I'm a little worried that the burrow I dug for her is making her afraid that there's a predator or something hiding in there, but I also know both from past experience and related problems others have had that tarantulas won't touch their new bedding right away. Is this something to worry about?
Also a quick side question; my tarantula doesn't eat that often and when crickets walk close to her she usually lifts up her leg to let them pass. Is this normal/typical behavior? Just curious.
