    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.
