I have a big enough water bowl for her to soak if she wants to but mainly to help with humidity in the big tank, however her current tank is SO small it barely fits a single hide and a small water bowl, I even got her a smaller hide bc the one she came with was too big for both her and the enclosure, it took up all the space. She has been using the new hide ever since, it fits much more snuggly. I am afraid of continuing to change things as I feel the first day here after the initial night were super stressful.
I don’t mind changing her water daily, I intended to do that anyway to ensure the water is always clean, especially after the horror of washing the filthy bowl for the first time. It was completely dry but as soon as I wet it it became SLIMY, eew.
I have her in my room where no one goes and has my smell, but I am sleeping in the couch for now to allow her more peace and quiet until she adjusts, I try talking to her each time I take out the bowl and when I monitor the temperatures during the day.
I am unsure as to when I should offer her first meal here, she didn’t have a schedule before and I am sure the vet visit will stress her again. Around the time of her appointment she will have been here two weeks, so by the first week mark it should allow her enough time to digest before the outing. Would it be too soon to offer a meal after a week in her new home?
