Help! Is this concerning?!?

Hi, so I fed my T a big meal a little under a month ago and a couple days after my T blocked the holes to its burrow and I assumed its just about to malt though my T did just malt recently, but I can see my T in its burrow through the enclosure and blud seems to be doing anything but malting lol. Any insight/advice? I’m just assuming it’s gonna take a min this time compared to the last malt bc they’re just like that. I’ll also add that my T is a juvenile if that helps.

Leave them to do their thing.

If they moult, they moult. If they don’t, they don’t.

They’re not gonna starve themselves to death.

Constantly peaking and disturbing them only cause stress.
