How old is she? Hams can look a bit more hunched as they age but in a younger ham they only tend to look really hunched when unwell, that would be a noticeable change from what's normal for her though if it was the case.

Thanks guys, I think I'm just imagining it...and my partner putting thoughts into my head doesn't help either! I'll out in her large wooden corner house and see if she prefers that. If not, I guess she isn't uncomfortable in the coconut! She has plenty of room in her detolf house so I'll add a few hides and see what she prefers!

Thank you!
