I recently had a mite attack in my tank. I cleaned out the tank and threw everything out that they could have lived in (Wooded pieces). I cleaned the plastic ornament and her plastic hides and put her back in. She now refuses to come out of her hide. I have to entice her out with food and when she comes out she just eats,drinks and has the odd lick of her calcium dish and then its back into the hide. The temps are fine also. The only items missing are places for her to climb and hide under (Rocks etc). I will have all these new ornaments (Rocks and plastic ornaments) tomorrow in the post so i plan on laying out a new tank for her (Decoration wise) Its been 2 weeks since i cleaned the tank but she still will not come out of her hide (Only to eat which is great). Before i cleaned out her tank she was very active and would be out as soon as night fell. I am happy that she is eating and drinking but i am concerned that she is not out and about.I live in ireland so it does get cold but as i said the temps are fine. Am i worring over nothing???

She's a girl 
. Probably just freaked cause all her familiar things are gone. She should come around before long.

I'm no expert but I know that mine will sometimes go a week or two where he never comes out for anything (he'll only eat crickets that wander under his rock) and then other times he'll be out all the time and I have to check to see if there is something unpleasant under his rock that is keeping him out (there never is) ... I've rationalized any potential problems that I might have by thinking this - as long as he looks normal when he's moving and keeps eating, there is probably nothing wrong. If he was ever moving sluggishly, looking confused, or uninterested in food, then I'd worry.
