A bit worried...
Hey guys! If you've seen my post before, you know I'm watching an Arizona Blonde for a friend while they're in college. I know how to take care of them, but I'm worried now.
Last time I saw him was November 26th, give or take a few days after that. I've assumed he buried because I didn't open the vivarium whatsoever.
But now it's been 22 days, and I haven't seen a sign of him whatsoever. I've looked all sides of vivarium, underneath, nothing; I don't see him at all. I see the ghost of a tunnel, and his other tunnel he liked is empty as well. I've tried dropping a dead mealworm in, thinking that would make him come out (I was desperate), but nothing.
I'm about to leave for a 3 week vacation, and I'm worried he'll die while I'm gone. My friend and my dad will check on him every 2 days or so, and will keep me updated.
But what if he's already dead? Did he somehow escape? I don't see how he can :( but I am very worried.
Do they usually hide this long? I saw somewhere that someone's multiple tarantulas bury for winter?
Some things to keep in mind: -no rocks, so there's no way he got crushed -last time he ate was around Nov. 21 if I had to guess -I check everyday, still nothing -dirt doesn't seem moved around at all
I've read the post below, and I'm trying not to panic. Any advice or even reassurance would greatly help.
