HELP: Curly Hair Sling Acting Like Depressed Teenager

I have a 1-2cm Curly Hair sling. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks. Preface, i am a college student and my professor randomly gave me a sling as i was leaving school. I kept it in its little sauce cup for a week. It ate 2 fruit flies. It was active and never really hiding. I moved it into its new enclosure after a week.
*The new set up is perfect so the sling literally can’t be stressed*
When i put the sling in the new enclosure, it immediately started working on its burrow. I’ve been watching it so i know exactly where it is. The hole is tinyyyy but i can still see in there a little if its daytime. i can see the sling move a little in the burrow but thats about it. I know they like to hide but for almost 5-6 days the sling has not come out or wanted to eat. I don’t know if it’s going into molt or WHAT!!
I’ve seen other curly hair slings on social media, and when they’re ready to molt they have a really big black oval on their butt. With mine the butt is kind of entirely like indigo? it looks entirely the same as a normal curly hair sling besides the butt not having the black oval. Help?
