Cage Info:
Current Problem - For the past few days, she hasn't been eating crickets like she notmally does and I've been cup feeding her meal worms. 2days ago she started shedding but still ate from a cup. Last night I saw that she fell asleep hanging upside down which she's never done before. All day today she's been hanging around the bottom of her cage. I haven't seen any signs of being gravid but thought I should put a laying bin in just in case. When I got home, she was having trouble climbing up. So I took her out and she just sort of layer there. Normally she tries running away. I'm keeping an eye on her but no idea what exactly is wrong. Any ideas??
