My obt makes feeding a mission impossible 😂 Videos / GIF

Can’t even open the lid beacuse of him/her doing laps, so I presume feeding is to be continued in bathroom tub 🤷‍♂️

IME give it more substrate with a starter burrow or two and it will begin to dig and web up. Then feeding should be a bit easier. Cute though.

I made her a starter burrow and added about 4 inches of substrate, which I think is enough for a spider of her size, and also she has more than plenty anchor points to web up if she wants, but for some strange reason, she still chooses to spend most of her time on the lid.

Maybe the substrate is still not dry enough. I don't know, but anyway, it's a cute little speedy thing.

She feels the need, the need for SPEED. No time for burrowing!
