[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 120363, member: 3458"] She may be coming up to a moult or just making her new home comfortable. The bald spot is due to her kicking hairs which could be just because she's been stressed by the move or it could be a sign of a moult. Most Ts also make a web mat prior to a moult, she may be making one inside her hide, and they often web themselves completely inside the hide to moult. If the bald patch darkens then you'll know there is a moult on its way. How often are you feeding her? I only feed mine at that size around once a week. Not feeding can be another sign of a moult approaching but if you're feeding more often then she could just be full. [/QUOTE]
