Re: What would cause this?
Also, make sure you're not feeding her TOO much calcium. An over-abundance of calcium can cause the joints and cartilage to calcify sometimes. Basically calcium builds up in the joints, making them hard to move.
In addition to that, from the photo you provided it looks a little dry in there. I'm not sure if humidity would play a part in her current condition, but you'd be surprised. Try boosting it to around 70-80% if it's not already there. The ground should have a soil-like moistness.
The bones in her joints may not even be the problem. For all we know it could be the fleshy parts are sore or swollen for some unknown reason. It's possible she *could* move them, but chooses not to because it hurts. It's hard to say for sure.
