    Re: She ate a f/t for the first time...now what?

    Congrats on your new BP and the successful first feeding. It's great that she took to f/t so quickly. I agree on no handling until she's eaten 2-3 times and for 48 hours after any feeding. I don't see a problem with changing water or doing cage maintenance.

    EL-Ziggy, I was very happy too! Once she grabbed it and pulled into her hide, I slllooowwwlyyy backed out of the room, shut the door, and did a dance in the hallway!
    I can handle anything that crops up, but I know her eating is the most important step to having a healthy BP. I'm really fortunate I found this site!
    Thanks for the advice ... and encouragement.
