Quick update:
Behira was stretched out tonight, seemingly looking for food (already!) with her head up and tense as I walked by.
I opened the tank and stroked her gently with the handle of the hook, as I have been doing for almost two weeks now. She tensed for a second, then put her head down, and let me pick her up, no problem.
Hook training is working very well.
I can't say she loves it, but realizes no food is coming. Additionally, once I picked her up, total doll as usual. She fell asleep on my chest for 1/2 hour while I was watching TV with Katie.
I think this is going to work out nicely for all involved.
I'll keep everyone in the loop!
