Should I go digging?

[howard]

It has been 3 days and I haven't seen my sals on land. I know they are okay because I can see them thru the tank and they are burrowed very nicely. So my question is they haven't eaten in 3 days, should I dig them up and feed them, or are they okay and when they are hungry they will come up and eat. I am sure it is okay to leave them alone but I just wanted some opinions on what others have done when your sals burrow for a few days or week at a time. Thanks!

no. leave them be, they'll come out when they're hungry. Or dump a dozen worms in there and let them hunt them on their own. tiger sals can go months without eating when their metabolism slows down

kaysie is right. they will come out to eat when they are hungry

Yep, they know how to be tigers more than you ever will. So just let them do their thing and they will come around.
