acting very weird still

ever since i changed his substrate to cypress mulch he has seemed really stressed. i dont understand whats going on with him. he wont go in his hides. he usually stays in there for days. should i buy another UTH that is bigger than what i have.

What were you using prior?

it was orchid bark. he went as far as pushing through the mesh screen where there was a very small hole. and he pushed through it and escaped. but luckily i found him quickly

Why did you change him to cypress mulch, now? Did I miss the start of your story?

i asked on here what would hold humidity better. and someone on this site said cypress mulch was good. so i picked some up. he may be hungry.... and isnt there breeding season coming up soon. he is really active

Exactly how humid do you have it/are you trying to get it? Covering part of the screen lid and using plain aspen has always worked for me w tanks

well im just trying to keep the humidty kept up. instead of it going up and down. i already have plastic on one side of the tank. he keeps trying to get out. he is not doing what he usually does. do u think he is just hungry or stressed out about something. i know my UTH is not as big as my hide. should i invest in another UTH that is bigger.... i just dont know why he is so dang active.

he is prolly stressed about the new substrate. he prolly doesnt like it. my girl is pretty picky about her substrate. how often do u feed? how old is ur BP?

i feed every 5 days. and he was born november of 08. so he is a little over a year. he is kinda acting like he does when he is ready to eat. he is just going back and forth around his cage and poking at the top of the screen. he may hate the new substrate. does that mean i should switch back to what i was using before or just leave it in there and see if he gets use to it. or does it sound like he may be hungry

if ur feeding an appropriate size then he shouldnt be hungry. what r u feeding?
