Default Do your Nhandu's dig?

As the title says?
I have a juvie Nhandu coloratovillosus which i got at the weekend. On sunday it dug all the substrate out underneath the cork hide, I have got up this morning and it is now bulldozing the substrate from one corner of its tank
It looks so sweet carrying mouthfuls of sub from one side to the other
I have pics of the hide and will try to get pics of the new hole later.

There was a bit of a moult in the tub when I got it but I dont know how long it had been there for.
Can a T be to skinny for a moult?
because I think its rump is quite small.

Work in progress
Some pics of bob building.
The first pic was taken sunday to show you how much he has bulldozed.
If you look closely in the last 2 pics you can see to substrate in his mouth

He seems to be trying to fill the hole he made on sunday behind the hide.
My other t's have left their tanks the way i put them but this little sod must think he is on changing rooms lol
It is lovely to have such an active little T though i could sit and watch him for hours excavating away at his house

Almost all my T's rearrange their tanks, and so do some of the scorps. I like the way they make it 'their' home.
