    Today (2/9) is 7 days since she last fed, and she's 5 months old so still young... isn't that too long to let a baby go without? She was hiding in her hide during the late afternoon/evening (before that was exploring a lot, but then seemed to calm down and rest for awhile).... but once night time hit, she came out again and was prowling a lot... I'm sure much of that is nerves/exploring, but I also wondered if maybe she's hungry too
