I am sorry that Snowy is hiding under the running wheel. This can be a normal behaviour if something has spooked her. However, it can also be a first sign of a sickness. I would monitor closey for signs of illness. This would include changes to appetite, energy levels, or any changes to her fecal movements. If you suspect she is ill I would take her to a veterinarian for a check-up. Best of luck and I hope Snowy is her normal self again soon.
