Athena has stopped using her hides...

I still have her in the rub, with kitchen towel substrate, 2 cardboard hides and a waterbowl.
She has shed finally, i cant see any sign whatsoever of mites (though i know they may still be lurking- along with any eggs).
she still wont eat >.<
up until about 3 days ago she was using her hides.
However over the last few nights i noticed that she has been more active at night, and has rearranged the rub, choosing to curl up behind the boxes rather than inside or even under them.
i would understand if she just moved them a bit and squashed herself behind them... but she shunts them to the other side of the box then curls up where it was! LOL
is this in any way normal?

Obs would rather sit cold in the cool end than near his hot hide when he has done a poo .... could one of the hides be soiled a little?

Being more active at night might mean she is getting hungry again perhaps?

nope the hides are clean :s though it is the hot end she's sitting in. i dont think she's too cold, she would probaby try to go under the tissue if that were the case.. erm.. temps are fine (32 warm end- 26 cool end) humidity just normal.
i wondered if she was getting hungry again so tried to feed her, but she just ignored it completely... no i tell a lie she cant of ignored it completely cos i found it stashed under her cool end hide. i reckon i will try to get hold of some multis, that might help things along by all accounts lol.
just cant think of any reason why she wouldnt want to hide anymore... she still hates me lol. though she hasn't hissed at me since i had her shoved up my top for an hour....
