After a while she'll just go back into hide.

I'm not going to say she's stressed only because so far I haven't had a shed problem (3 sheds for me) and has eaten every time I offered.

Mine also did that all the time even after feeding, only after about 12-24hrs of hiding. I considered my husbandry to be on par following the how to sticky, and feeding every 5 days. Waited about a week before I messed with her. Even after about 4 weeks of she was still constantly probing the top and messing up everything up.

After some digging around and researching on hatchling's weight and size of prey they should be on, I came to the conclusion that she was being underfed with mice fuzzies. So I ordered 50 rat fuzzies, since they are bigger. She took it no problem and dissappeared for 4 days! So I've now got her on 4 day feeding schedule. It's been 3 weeks and she basically hides between meals now.

Yesterday morning was her feed time but I held off for another 24hrs. Last night she was out exploring the top again. The past 3 days she has been bulldozing her tank though.

So I've classified my ball as being hungry when she is exploring the top
