what has happened to its legs the hairs have worn off ?.

they setup is just a plastic kritter keeper but glass tank is fine with a layer of moist cocopeat. She will burrow and make her own home so i dont use any logs or rocks. Breeding setup is just the normal housing. When it comes breeding time you just introduce the male in. Best way is in a clear container for a few days to a week or when ever he starts drumming so the female knows he's there, then let him out out he will keep drumming, coaxing the female out of the burrow.
they will then mate, it doesnt last long then you need to get him out to prevent her eating him.
