    Should I try to feed?

    Zola and I just moved into my mom's house for my winter break. The move went well, and I set Zola's tank up exactly how it was in my apartment. She is settling, but she is really skittish, just stressed from the car ride. I have only been reaching in there to check temps while the UTH gets back up and running because I had to set my thermostat higher because this house is in the mountains, so just naturally colder. But everything looks good now.

    So, my question is, should I feed? She should eat today or tomorrow, but I am not sure if offering would just stress her more. Should I treat this like a "new arrival" and leave her alone for a week before feeding again? Like I said, she is noticeably skittish, just a little wired from the change. What are your opinions?

    Just my opinion here but I say offer. If she doesn't want it she won't take it.

    I agree with Anom, but it really depends on the ball. My ball has been eating every Monday year round without 1 issue. Do you feed f/t? I would raise the room temp before feeding too.

    I'm so sorry, I have no idea how this got under the pictures thread. I was probably looking at the pics thread before I posted. Totally my bad, I apologize.
