I'd think she'd be alright. They are hardy wee things. Offcourse you might want to give her the once over.

If you let her run through your hands. Just feel for anything out of place. You'd know yourself.
Again. Doubt you'll find anything. She's probably fallen before and you haven't been there to notice.

I would say she will be fine. Best thing to do is put her on a flat surface i.e the floor and just see if she is moving normally.

Regards,
John.

should be fine, my royal falls off things all the time, i think it kinda goes into shock or just feels sorry for itself, cuz it stays still for a second, then sets off climbin agen.

only time id worry is if she fell on somethin sharp, but i doubt u have anything sharp in her viv?

she should be fine =]
