My (almost) 3 year old leo, Goji, keeps hiding under her substrate, its a carpet like substrate, and she pushes it around until she can find a bump in it that she can wiggle under, and then she crawls around under it and lays under it for long periods of time.

She has also slowed her eating considerably, to the point that I have trouble figuring out if she is eating or just leaving the mealys alone until they crawl out of her food dish and hide under her water dish (which I'm not even sure how that works lol, they must really be able to squish themselves down to get under there!!)

This is a first for her since I've had her, is this normal? Should I worry about her hiding all the time or should I do something differently? She has the same hide-y spaces in her tank that she has always had, I haven't taken anything out of her tank for quite awhile.

I figure her slowed eating is perhaps due to hibernation type instincts. Also she is still shedding pretty normally, except for one instance that I believe she pulled her shed off of her face too quickly, causing a small scrape looking wound on her chin. (Which has since healed)

Does anyone know anything about these situations?
