Burrow collapsing?

[Kizzu]

Hey all. I've had my B.Vagans sling about a week now, in the last couple of days 'she's' started to dig herself a burrow. I woke up today and I could no longer see any legs in the burrow so I figured she'd made it deeper.

I've just looked, and there's now the substrate over the top of the burrow. Has she done this intentionally, or should I open the burrow back up?

She last ate 2 days ago, so I'm not sure if she's ready to moult (if that's a reason why she might cover the burrow).

Any replies are appreciated, thanks!

They block entrence to burrow when they are going to moult. Don't panic just sit back and next time you see it , it will be bigger

They can dig themselves out as well, so I would not worry.

Good to know that I'm not the only one that worries so much! I'm sure I'll calm down eventually hehe.

I never see my Pulcheripes slings. 3 of them have shut themselves off getting ready to moult. The other one just kinda sits at the bottom of her burrow waiting for a cricket drumstick or mini mealworm. Can't wait for the adult colours on these. Good thing Im patient.
