    Because the slope of the tub and variable sizing of the slate stones, it was creating some cave systems. I was a little back and forth on whether this was okay. I'm sure she loves to hide there. But that makes it more difficult to tame her down some because whenever I go into the room, she'll just hide, and I need her to associate me with something not so bad. Hard to do that when she's hiding.

    So I took her out of the tub (that was hard to do, she is nippy!) And rearranged the stones to remove the caves.

    Took the opportunity and snapped a quick pic and video. She was obviously stressed, so I didn't want to dilly dally though.

    The video is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QrKdtH...d=ujk1egxdj4by

    Every two days, I've been feeding her either a shrimp or 3 mouse pinkies coated in calcium powder. I tried a rat pinky, but she did not eat it; I think it was too big. But she's been eating very consistently.

    I've also been sitting with her for 20-30 minutes everyday without taking her out.

    Every two days, I feed either 1-2 shrimp, 3-4 mice pinkies, or 1 small rat pinky.

    I have discovered a very specific method of getting her to eat reliably. She has been eating, so I havent been concerned, but it was very sparse and sometimes skipped entirely. But this method has worked the last 3 feeding days: place a rat pinky half on land and half on water and leave overnight.
