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 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Also, the pre-moult may take quite a long time and that's also fully natural thing.</blockquote>
