 What am I doing wrong?

Hey, my Urodacus Yaschenkoi molted like two weeks ago I think he’s 4/5instar, and It’s been eating 4 meal-worms a week for both weeks which is heaps compared to usual (I feed him every time he is sitting at the top of his burrow trying to catch something).
I’m pretty sure the temperature is kept right, and the % of water in the soil.
But the thing is he spends all night roaming around and trying to climb the glass tank sides, according to care sheets this species is not happy for some reason if hes not in his burrow 99% of the time.
So what am I doing wrong?

Well if the temp and humidity are correct as you say they are, he’s probably just roaming the tank. My scorpions do that all the time. How long has he been doing that? My guess is he’ll stop and go back into his burrow.

I don’t know about the Humidity, And he’s been doing it for a couple of days in a row.
He also used to do it when I first got Him till he dug a burrow.
Its not the roaming around that worries me but the trying to climb the tank sides, Pushing up with its tail and back legs. he wont get out though even though I don’t keep the lid closed, because from the highest thing in the tank to the top is 200mm, and there is a deep lip at the top of the tank.

PS. is it bad to feed him only meal worms. (I have to travel ages to get crickets or woodies).

Mealworms are considered to be quite fattening as far as i know, how about ordering crickets off the internet and getting delivered or something? Ive never used mealworms myself so i can’t comment much.

Try this link, its a more active forum than this one.
