I've heard of young ones burrowing. I think it's more like hiding, rather than lurking. :)

She was, but recently she's been ill. She's having good days and bad days right now. She has/had (not sure if it's over yet) a very bad case of tapeworm. You can look in the hospital section under Annabelle (IP's). Some of the pictures are really graphic (fair warning). As of today I'm still treating her. She looked much better and more active this morning. We have been fighting this for over a month now. :( I will not give up on her! :lol:

I'm hoping it will be over soon. I can't wait to see her in all her glory again. :)
