Two days ago, Teddy went down (waaay down) for a molt. There was a window, so I could see him clearly. I poked the sand on top at one point on accident and caused there to be a finger sized air hole straight to him.
I just checked and I can now barely see him through the "window" and the accidental air hole is filled. The tank got moved around a little yesterday so I don't know..
Did it cave in? Will he be able to get out??? I'm worried.
This is my first molt, and I'm a bit scared!!!
Cave in???? *worry*

I'm betting he just moved since he was disturbed.
They normally will do that and the old cave and tunnel gets filled in by the displaced substrate. I wouldn't worry at all!

me too
I am in the same situation!! I could see Cher when she first dug down, but now there are no holes or windows at all. It's been almost three weeks, and I am going slightly crazy worrying about her!

I have done this before where i accidently tap the tank and their hole caves in. I have had no trouble with that. If they are not molting they usually will dig themselves up and move to a different spot. I would not worry to much.
