T. albopilosus Juvenile possible pre-molt?

Hi! I got my first T a few days ago. The woman I bought it from said that it was still young and hadn’t molted yet. Today it’s been digging around under its hide and shoving itself as far as it can go.

The only thing I’m worried about is that its abdomen seems really small for a pre-molt. The lady had said they’d been feeding it every two to three days, and it’s eating for me, so that’s not the issue.

Should I get more food and try feeding it more? Or should I just let it play out and see what happens?

Any advice is appreciated.

Welcome to the hobby and the forum!
From the photos you posted, she looks ok! Feeding every 2-3 days seems really often though. That's the only thing...
