They are ambush predators who thrive by staying hidden and striking unsuspecting prey as it passes by. Moving forward just leave the hides as is.
i did it the first time because tbh someone said so. and she did eat just fine. but the second time since its been more than a week since, there was no flipping. i took her from the hide so she knew something was up. shes only ever been fed in a seperate tank and apparently thats bad so while i AM feeding her in the same tank, i am picking her up a little first. plus otherwise she kinda just stays in her hide and doesn't even pay attention to being fed. not going to lie, she's pretty dumb but i love her so much. she does seem A LOT more happy in her tank than before though. she's a lot more explorative and will stick her head out like a dog laying half out of their dog house and just watch while i'm home. shes not just completely hiding all the time.
