    my corn does that too, but she doesnt freak out like yours. If she is eating and I look at her through the tub she rattles her tail on the bottom of the tub. Or if I try to pick her up sometimes she does that. Its just a bluff though because I pick her up and she is fine after that. Silly girl. Hope yours is ok!

    Sounds a little odd. Why did you take the hides out? Have you always fed like this? Are you sure NOTHING has changed????

    I would wait until after the shed. I had an adult male go nuts on me right before a shed. He went off feed for two weeks and didn't want to be held. Make sure the humitity is up and keep the water bowl full. I think she just can't see very well and is a bit freaked out. She should calm back down after the shed.

    For a shedding corn, I keep humidity between 45 and 55%. Works great, never had a single bad shed...not even broken ones! :)

    But, yeah I agree that it's the shedding that's done that to her. My big guy is in the process right now (and yes, it can take two weeks) and he skipped food last night and just does NOT want to be touched, which is strange for him since he's the cuddler. :)
