hey guys i just bought this xenia who was fragged right in front of me at the LFS about 6 hours ago. it’s been bending over like this for a while now and when i supported it with my fingers it’d stay upright for ~10minutes. was wondering if this is normal since it’s new/freshly fragged? wouldn’t it usually be fully retracted if it was due to the stress? anything helps. thanks!

Its accumulating. He looks fine actually.

I just picked up the same Xenia this last Sunday myself.

Wish I knew, its off white right? kinda greyish?

My clown likes to get in there, then to the bta or ritteri.
 
yessir that's the one. hahaha hopefully mine does too once it extends!

Is it attached to anything? I used a rubber band and wrapped it around a piece of LR. It never slumped 1 bit, try that. I just realize you said it was fresh cut, its trying to look for an attachment.

I send you a pic tomorrow.
