    Doesn't sound "bad".... GUYS HELP ME OUT HERE.... I would just feed again nxt. Sun/Mon and maybe bump the rat size up if she still seems hungry/alert...Is she agressive by nature? Remember that "they can eat as big around as their thickest part"... Or close to. If you give a discription of her home? these guys'll help!:D

    I fumbled around too... you'll get the hang! The BEST thing is to read the BP care sheet listed at the top of the "home" page..... or search for "feeding" :D;)

    OK.....his mother had her on the main level of her house always 60 degress......Gypsi has a 55 gal tank.....well i just moved here and finally got a thermometer to detect temp and humidity....well it has been way too cold for her I think....so I moved her upstairs with me.....just moving her up there changed the temp to 75-85 degrees depending on the outside weather plus humidity of 45-55 jumping around...so I don't know....if she is just more comfortable? She's usually so docile I don't know what the deal is.......

    If she was really kept in an environment that cold without any supplemental heat, then her sudden burst of activity could just be that she's finally feeling warmer and that gives them more energy for moving around and exploring their environment.

    Try to bump the temperatures up a bit more. She really needs it to be ~92F on one side of the tank, and around 82F on the other. Typically, you don't want the temps to drop below 80.

    Your humidity sounds fine for now.

    Does she have anything to hide in?
