I've had my tarantula for about a year and a half. The first substrate I used was coconut fiber. The cage needed to be cleaned so recently I changed the substrate to peat and the tarantula did not like that much so after a few weeks with it keeping on its hide I changed it again, back to coconut fiber. It still stays on its hide and won't walk on the substrate, occasionally I see it on the water dish or on the glass on the side of the cage. It has been about a month since I put the coconut fiber in. It still eats the crickets if they wander on the hide. What should I do!? I don't know what else I can try.
truthfully, this will not be too stable of an thought. element is, there are purely specific flowers that beardies can consume-- and additionally there is the difficulty to getting the beardie to realize he can consume this plant. c:
Beardies love to dig and tear things up, so you might not have much luck keeping them alive. Vermiculite is good for when beardies breed and lay egg's, however its not good for everyday living due to impaction. Stick with reptile carpet for his main cage.
