Just a few last things:
Does this box need vent holes? Or should I just wait and see how the humidity/temp holds?
Hide on warm side, water on cold side?
How critical is the aspen? I think I may have to go buy more after all.
No handling for a week. Is replacing water and substrate every few days is okay? And can/should I continue to weigh her? I can do both without removing her from the box.
It's a clear tub. Can I just set her near my bedroom window with a white towel covering her so she gets no clear vision but still the day/night cycle? Or is being out in the open with a good hide enough?
I know this has been commented on before. And sorry y'all if I'm being repetitive; I just want to get this right. My husband will have a complete meltdown if this animal dies, and our vet told us that it was likely -- which is why she jumped directly to the tube feed.
I've been seeing this vet for a long time--ferrets, birds, lizards and turtles, as well as my dogs and cats--but I may try looking for someone who focuses specifically on reptiles.
I'll be posting pictures once this is set up. I'm really upset and disappointed by the lack/inaccuracy of resources provided to me by both the store and the vet.
