Anyone see any huge downside to offering her a small meal after only 5 days with me? Even just in the time it took me to sit down and start typing this she has completely come out of her hide and started searching her enclosure. The only real downside I could see is having to throw away her meal and trying again in another 5 days.
I've always offered meals to my new acquisitions when it's regular feeding time. If they take it, great. If not, I try again the next week. They usually eat.
