Default Cyclosternum fasciatum- growth rate?

I have heard they are fast growers. Mine hasnt eaten or molted in months. She also hides all the time but Im told this is normal. She is a juvi of about 2inches maybe.

Here is mine. We had to take her toilet roll tube out cos it gets damp with the spraying and we were told before to take it out. But her burrow came with it and this is what we found. She now has a new hide made out of half a waxworm tub covered in soil.
She has yet to see it. This is only the third time Ive ever seen her and the only decent pic I have of her. Probably the last time ill see her in another long while.

I'd ditch the waxie pot, and start her off with an artificial burrow, or just make a scrape for her to make her own

Mine were juve's/sub adults when I got them so can't say on the growth rate, but they do hide all the time. 1 of mine has totally baracaded herself in for weeks lol I have to pull it all apart before I can feed her as I can't see even a mm of her.
