Habitat - Indoor :: Hiding

[Stace]

Hi everyone,
My new baby Roxie doesn't seem to like her basking area... she hides under it all day, only occasionally coming out from under it to eat. I've tried to pick her up and put her on it but she scrambles to get off... I feel so bad for her. I have the heating lamp and everything. I have only had her for 4 days, do you think it's just because she is still getting used to everything? I know there are other basking ramps, maybe she just needs a different style.... HELP!!!

Since it's only been 4 days, give her a few days. When I got my first initial RES, all she did was hide under her basking area all day long as well, but after a week or so, she start climbing her dock and started basking.

if she's healthy she'll eventually bask - she just needs to get used to the new environment.

it's just in their nature to bask -

is the basking platform easy to get on and off?
