Tbh actually it doesn;t seem too strange. Now I hope this isn't from stress of anything but it seems like the moisturized coton ball is big dug into, like the queen has half of its self stuck into its but I can still see space like she isn't suffocating I think, does this mean she is redo-ing the furniture or is she stressed?

Hi,

I suggest you make only 1 thread for all the problems you're having, it's getting a little clustered on the boards with spam threads from you.


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

It just seems that way, there aren't that many people answering. I apologize though.

she's just exploring, maybe try giving a drop of honey in case she may be hungry. but odds are she's just re-arranging her living space

Sounds to me like she is just trying to get more comfortable. She will rearrange to find the right microclimate (temp, and humidity) to make her living situation more comfortable.
