Wolf spider buried herself

[annlpz]

I got a wolf spider and decided to kept her in a small cup until I found a bigger enclosure
But all of a sudden she buried herself and is not coming out. She is alive, but I'm worried because it has passed more than one month and she is still there!
Should I let her there until she comes out to change her to a bigger enclosure? Should I change her now? Should I throw her food? Mist water? Let her be?

I include a not so helpful photo and another one before her hiding

Might have been really dry or might be thinking about a sac or molt. Sometimes they just hide it's so dry here in the winter. As long as you can see her and she isn't doing anything, it's fine to dig her up. If it's maybe a molt I wouldn't though.

keep it dry with a waterdish; I just know about european Lycosidae... Lycosas burrow, Hognas are wandering. So what kind of wolfspider do you own? If you don´t offer a hide it has no other choice and will borrow to feel save.

Here are a few things that could be going on
1. Pre-molt.
2. Her cup is to dry
3. She's stressed
4. It's too cold for her
5. She's just spider-ing...
I think it's probably pre-molt especially if she's not eating. If she's wild-caught she might be graved and about to lay an egg sac but I don't think that's too likely. Remember, spiders do this and it's totally normal. They go a long time without food. And are built for this kind of thing. Also please try to leave her be and mist her a little. Hope this helped. Have a nice day
