 My Lizzie REFUSES to eat

Hey There,
Brand new site user here. I got a problem. I have a (only) 3 yr. female, gorgeous, healthy, that has stopped eating for 5 days now. The only thing that has changed is I moved her habitat to the other side of the living room. 5 days ago. Do you think that could be it? She cowers when we walk by now and she acts like she wants out. But she won’t come out.
Any suggestions?

is she close to a window? is the traffic area higher? many things could be it, but my guesss is that by moving her that is the problem.

She’ll need some time to get used to her new surroundings.
What you could try is leaving the food there, and then leaving the room, or covering her tank with a cloth or something so that she cant look out or anyone can look in. That will give her some security.

Most likely it’s from the move...These little creatures are so delicate when it comes to change......I know mine HATE changes...sometime I have to move mine in the other viv when I’m cleaning and OMG they turn all dark, run and hide or just have a panic attack..they are so funny they look at me like they have seen a ghost.....Just give her some time to adjust and you might try what Tarkah said and cover her viv for awhile...
