Oh no! One of my WTFs has jumped out of her tank onto the floor multiple times and it's always frightening. I hope she's doing well despite the stress.

It took her some time to settle down but her appetite has improved and she's mildly less skittish. Doesn't seem hurt by the fall. She's decently active.![]()
It was a stressful few weeks, after watching her behavior in the tank and having trouble getting to her for feeding I decided to move her into a smaller bin until she grows, after settling she seems much happier in this and the temps are far more stable, she's finally started hunting and spends less time underground, but a worm melted in the soil so I had to take her out just a few days after she moved in, and had to dig her up to place her in the new bin the first time. That was very stressful and the whole time she spent in a warm bath while I cleaned I could hear her hopping up the sides of the container. Bath did seem good for her though.
She also tries to escape when I reached in for her water-dish and would hop around for a while. She hasn't done this in a few days though, just calmly walked into her cave when she saw me opening the tank and when I dropped the food in she actually tried digging one of the bugs up!
She also swallowed it alive and it kicked her in the stomach for a while..
And I cut up three poor earthworms for nothing, she ignored them for a superworm and a dubia.
I guess all of her "padding" may have helped cushion her landing.Good to read she is doing well!
