Time for a new tank?

You took the words right outa of my mouth.lol

If you're worried about the little guy needing space then remove the little house. I'm guessing he doesn't use it to hide since the little guy is buried nxt to it. Although cute and kind of appealing as a feature in the enclosure it isn't really necissary since pacmans burrow.

so I was bored the other day and I moved him over to my 10gal tank he seemed to like it went inthe water bowl for awhile took a poop but he has been burrowed for almost 24 hrs now... is that norm or could it be cuz he doesnt like the new tank... he never really burrowed that deep for that long in the other one.... there is alot more substrate in this one but it is completely covered in this one.. is it norm should i burrow him out... he does seem to be eating i put about 5 crickets left in there and all i can see is 2 so i guess thats a good sign?

can someone chime in here? i mean i just came home and he is completely buried under it took me a good 5 min to try to find him??

They will completely bury themselves from time to time. If you worry about the little guy just dig him up to the point to where you can see if he is still breathing. If it's too cold he may think its time to hibernate or estivate. If you did give the little guy more substrate and its deep he will bury himself completely. Here is one thing you can do to make sure he is still eating. When its time to feed him dig up only his head to where he opens his eyes and can see. Drop in the crickets and see if he decides to climb out and have some dinner. It's not usually a problem when they completely bury themselves. They all do it. Grif just did yesterday and today he has his head above the soil. Post back and let us know if he responds to the food tonight. He may also have been stressed a little from switching enclosures.

Watch your fingers when you digging out his head. Things could get sticky gooey.lol
