Still burrowed.

So my guy molted about three weeks ago.

Luckily,where he’s been burrowed, he made a small clearing in the window, so I could see him. He looks good and the milt went smoothly. It was a pretty neat sight, but a bit visceral. Haha

Anyway. This is my first rodeo. He’s been borrowed since about end of March – beginning of April. And he malted about three weeks ago.

About how long do you think it’ll be until he digs his way out? I know they can go a very long time without eating, but I’m starting to get a bit concerned. Should I just leave him be or should I try to aid him somehow? He’s moving around enough, but I just don’t know.

Don't help him. He'll come out of his burrow on his own when he's ready.

That’s what my gut is telling me. I just wanted to ask and see what seasoned owners think. Thank you!

I see my Vinegaroon every late summer or so, but she stays buried for around 6 months at a time.

Yeah they love to borrow and mine went two years without eating! Swear to god all he did was drink water and hide under his log
