pre-made burrow

[deuce]

has anyone made a burrow for your T so you can see it . or will they make there own and not go for the premade burrow. I thought about taking a piece of PVC cut in half and silicone it to the glass. but did't know if it would be worth the time

No, I've never made a pre-made burrow for any of my T's. I did try it once with my scorpion, but she never went for it. That was before I found out she was a different species, and they aren't obligate burrowers. I probably wouldn't bother with species that aren't obligate burrowers. The other terrestrial Ts will just do a little digging and earth-moving until they like their setup. What you can do is start a little hole by one side of the cage by pushing a a pencil about 1 inch into the substrate and hope they find it and work on that. I did see an interesting thread on using foamariums for burrows on arachnopets. I'll have to go and find the thread and link you to it.

8)Hey Deuce, you just might have some luck with that idea, there are several Ts that will use that as long as you have the rest of it coverd with bedding and only the opening visible, make sure you use some black paper to cover the outside of the cage where you have put the PVC pipe, then once the T uses the pipe burrow you can uncover the cage and look inside and then make sure you put the paper back over that part so it still feels secure, foamariums give great results.. You just need a T that really likes burrowing, maybe even the one you have now...

Ooops, forgot the link for the foamarium thread.

That is a neat Idea, but from what I've heard from different people, T's like to make their borrow where THEY like it not where you like it. But hey, it's worth a try.

Indeed, they will make the burrows where they like it. All you can do is hope they like the one you got for them.
