I have a few questions if anyone would be able to help me. I am concerned that since I have had her (got her on the 19th of December), every time I have checked on her she has been in the same "stress" pose hiding behing her front legs and am worried this is a sign of stress and if there is anything I can do? She also doesn't seem to like the substrate, doesnt use her cave/burrow and seems to just sit on the flat cork bark (never seen her anywhere other than the flat cork bark) so not sure if I should change anything there? She hasnt eaten yet but am not worried as im sure shes just settling into her new environment. She is kept in a dark area away from people, I don't disturb her and have left her alone since I got her. I have attached photos of her and her setup if theres anything I should change please let me know.Thanks in advance,Andy[ATTACH]63004[/ATTACH][ATTACH]63005[/ATTACH][ATTACH]63006[/ATTACH][ATTACH]63007[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
