Perfectly natural, nothing to worry about. All she is doing is kicking hairs off.

I think she is premolt or she is kicking hairs a lot witch ive not noticed her do she is normally calm when I feed her and never kicks so that's why I'm hoping its premolt

thank yea ive never seen her do it that's why I was kinda worried

 

[Mr. P]

New Word T's tend to do that when threatened or stressed. She'll have new hair when she molts.

she may be a little stressed as I moved her to a new home as she was getting big for her old house

That could well be the reason she's been kicking hairs, nothing to worry about as @Mr. P says.

I second to others - Everything is fine and the T looks perfectly well My own A. geniculata also never kicks hairs on me when I'm feeding her, but was all about flicking when I had to move her with catch cup. I wouldn't be surprised if you had missed the flicking during the rehousing, because they do it amazingly fast while walking.

Also, don't worry about her being on one spot - As you thought, she looks like being in pre-moult and during that time Ts are usually more sluggish than normally. You can try how annoying it is to move around when wearing clothes that are too small, haha Also, the pre-moult may take quite a long time and that's also fully natural thing.
