Give the little one a chance to relax, Then offer some food..
She did end up taking it over night but your right ed. Since that experience I have left her be, only opened the cage to scan temps.


It makes me mad at myself cause you know I have read about acclimation alot. I know it's important. But I goobered out and did this stuff anyway. My brain don't work right.

I'm gonna leave her alone...aside from temp checks...till sunday when I offer another item. Maybe she'll take this one with a good strike if I try to feed at night in the dim light and don't uncover her or touch her with it.
