So I'm sure some of you are going to think I'm irresponsible or whatever but it was truly just an accident. I had my ball out and she was sitting on my lap in an armchair just cruising about and doing her normal thing. She decided to go down the arm of the chair and behind me. I moved to put her back on my lap but when I stood she was gone. She had found a hole in the fabric of the chair and was going inside! I grabbed her tail and tried to gently work her out but I'm sure my fear and anxiety and urgency scared her and she clenched up and tried to get away from me. Fast forward 20 minutes and more gentle wiggling and moving and I finally got her out. I'm surprised she didn't bite me. I would have bit me. I looked her over and she seemed just fine. I quickly put her back in the safety of her tank and she went into her favorite hide.

So, now, my question. Will she be traumatized by this? She seemed perfectly fine when I was looking her over. Not scared or jumpy or even really stressed. She was just her normal, calm, relaxed self. I jokingly told my mom who was helping me that she probably thought it was funny to hide from me like that but I'm actually a little worried about her. I don't think she's physically hurt at all but I'm just afraid she may be shy or jumpy the next time I get her out. We won't be going back to that chair, that's for sure.
