Is Behavior Change Normal?

[Zincubus]

So about 2 months ago my BP shed and refused food until last Friday the 7th. Since that feed she has been in her hide except once to use the bathroom in the other hide.

She is usually out at night exploring. I've checked on her and she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary so I put her back in her cage and she just goes right back into her hide.

Should I be concerned with this new behavior or is this normal?

Thanks!

As already mentioned

They will hide away for a few says after a meal but if you put some branches in there plus some fake foliage ( from PoundLand shops) it will encourage it to climb in the evenings .

As to feeding -

This method WORKS if done properly ...
I wait until evening as they're nocturnal of course . I let the rodent thaw out in the reptile room so they get the smell ..
Then I warm up the mouse / rat with a hairdryer and offer with tongs IMMEDIATELY whilst still warm . If refused simply repeat the heating and offering as many times as needed. .
A couple of mine will only strike feed from within their hides so I dangle the warm rodent in front of the hide's entrance - usually works but if it fails simply reheat the rodent with a hairdryer and immediately offer again whilst it's still warm :cens0r:continue until it's grabbed ...
I always wait until evenings to feed as they're nocturnal of course .

Incidentally , if it shows no interest at all not even a tongue flicker maybe it's best to leave for a week or so.
