Before she outgrew her original cage I was using coco coir and it seemed to love it, but after I rehoused her she didnt take to it. Over the past two and a half months I've tried coconut coir, vermiculite, coco coir/vermiculite, coco husk, and horitcultural soil. She doesn't seem to like any of it. Always pacing the sides of the cage and the top as well. She doesn't even use the hide I've provided. I know Ts need a couple weeks to fully adjust to a new cage and I allowed the time for that but she never settles in. I was not fond of changing it so many times but I like happy Ts and not stressed ones. I don't plan on changing it again until I hear from you guys. The substrates I've used were all squeezed of excess water so none were too damp and humididty has always been in the 50-60 range. Any suggestions would be awesome <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
