How long do these guys stay buried for? He's been buried deep for a couple of days now. I would like to feed him but at the same time I don't want to disturb him.
They're nocturnal so you need to offer food at night. They need a 12 hour day/night cycle. So you'll need day time lights to be on at 8:00 am. Day lights go off and night lights come on at 8:00 pm. That is if you have night lights. When you're going to feed him just unburry his head so he can see and offer food. Then leave him be and check to see how many are in there in the morning. Offer around 5 or 6 small crickets for first feeding. Break the hind legs off the crickets though before you offer them so they're much easier to catch.
