Okay cool, and no, the concern was mainly because I didn't know if it would mold or something down there. lol
Right, cool, I've seen my P. muticus do this but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe she buried it...
Oh okay, Thanks!
You've had it 9 days? How big was it when you got it? 4-5 roaches, depending on size of roach to size of spider, seems like a lot. Is it a sling?
that does seem like a lot and yes usually when you see their sexy blue legs sticking out of their dirt lid it does mean they are hungry. i'd hold off personally feeding it if it ate that much in 9 days. it's not starving unless you intend on power feeding it?
the answer to your question is yes and no. yes part in that all burrowing species will be waiting at the edge of their burrow or in this case at their lid waiting for prey to come by and snatch them up and continue doing this until they go into premolt. In wich case they will stay down below until they molt and harden and then repeat the process over and over again. (they live very boring lives) so yes they are hungry but they are always hungry unless they are in premolt. however it doesn't mean you have to feed them, because in the wild they might not see food for days, weeks or even months at time so they will wait and wait, but they have a slow metabolism so one meal can hold them until their next one. since they are in a control environment, means that we have control of their feeding schedule, but they will still pop up the next day after a feeding waiting for more prey to come bye. so don't feed them everytime you see that because its what their program to do and will always do it and you will just accelerate them to another molt and to short of time between molts can cause problems.
yeah, i know I need to do another one but busy with school unfortunately so it might be a while
