    I put her in the tank and she stayed outside during one day.

    I said "Yeahh, she' awake now".

    I decided to feed her. She ate one dubia roach, and then, 2 minutes after, went back under substrate again.
    Now she is under since 3 days (With closed eyes).

    I am now sure she wants to stay under the substrate for weeks or months for a rest period.

    I wouldn't like to disturb her anymore until she comes out again, but....She has one dubia in stomach.

    Should I disturb her again (Only for one dubia !) so that she makes a little "Dubia poop" or should I let her quiet, considering that one dubia in stomach during several months is not dangerous ?

    Thank you.
    If she eats when you wake her up she may not want to aestivate completely. Is she losing weight?

    I didn't check...
    But as she always go under and sleep for weeks, it is a typical attitude for estivation?

    What should I do ? I can't keep her above the substrate since mid of October, even after hours of warm bath and food.
