our salmon pink sling has gone very bald.
its about 8-9 cm at the moment & a couple of weeks ago we moved it to a larger enclosure. it seemed fine had a wonder around, found its, coconut shell & sat on it as it did in smaller enclosure. then it moved on to a rock we put in, has been eating etc. but in last week has gone really bald. the enclosure is out of the way so we aren't stressing it out moving around . i think we moved it to an encloser that is too big. thing is what do i do now? do we leave it to settle or move it back to a smaller set up. i dont want to stress it more.
thanks

LP's are one of the few species who actually benefits from a large enclosure, so i wouldent worry about it too much. :) I'd like to know the size though :)

Yeah, i'd leave her be.. Lps are easily stressed, and kicking hairs is pretty normal for them.
