    Striking and missing happens all the time so that is nothing to worry about! Soaking in the water bowl could be that she is going into shed or mites. Check the bowl for little black dots. If the water is clean then she is probaly going into shed! You can never ask too many questions. That is the only way to learn!

    ^I AGREE^

    Always better to err on the side of caution and ask... rather than not ask and there be a serious problem. If you don't see any evidence of mites... then she's probably getting ready to shed.

    Strike and miss... that happens. Especially with youngin's.
