Just now, my 0.1 tiger flew out of her hide box and went into another hide,and then flew out of that one,it's almost as if something spooked her.Now she seems to be alright but,I have no idea what could have made her bolt like that. I was thinking that it could be mites,but I just treated the tank (pro-vent-a-mite) 2 weeks ago. She does have a bit of retained shed on the tip of her nose/mouth area, but I wonder if that would be enough to severely irritate her. If she wasn't so strikey then I would be able to help off the remaining shed. Any help will be appreciated.

did she even have mites before you treated her with provent-a-mite? im thinking that and the bad shed could have irritaded(sp?) her. How fast was the zooming from side to side? i wouldnt worry about it at all.

Well its loking worse. I caught her star-gazing
at first I thought it was because I turned off the light but that was about 15 min ago and she wasn't resting her head on anything,just looking up.
