Suddenly Super Active

A little Background:
I discovered that Joey was a girl in July 2018. She was behaving strangely and refusing to feed. A visit to the vet revealed that she had intestinal parasites and that she was a girl! A few days after that she laid a clutch of eggs. At the time, we had had her for over 6 years and as far as we knew, she had never been with a male.
I followed my husband to Germany in August 2018 and Joey was shipped here a month later. She had to be re-treated for the parasites and is now clear. She's eating fine and seems to be okay with the new enclosure. I've had a little trouble getting the temps and lighting correct, but I think we're finally good. The warm side is between 77º at night and 80º in the day, while the cool side is between 73º and 75º. Up until last week, she was spending almost all of her time in the cool side box. Last week, she pooped on the cool side box, so I had to replace it with a different hide and since then, she's been in the warm side every day.
I fed her Friday and she pooped yesterday (Saturday). It's very unusual for her to poop so quickly after a feeding. We feed her adult mice, but they seem smaller than what we used to get back in the States. So, I feed her two on alternating feedings. In other words, this week, she got just one, next week, I'll give her two.

In the last four days, she's suddenly super active. She's almost constantly moving about the cage, pushing at the screen and glass and burrowing under the substrate. I'm worried. On the one hand, it's nice to see her out of the hides, but on the other, she seems restless and I'm wondering if it's signaling that something's wrong.
