    Question Humidity and feeding

    Will lower than normal humidity induce a ball to stop eating?

    I've moved her into the 32 qt. rack, and the other two drawers are dead on temp and humidity, but her's WAS only 25% humidity (which I don't understand ...... ) but I've moved the water bowl to the back closer to the heat, and I've misted to bump it up.

    Hmm that is weird :eek: .I am not sure if the humidity being lower would cause any problems enough to make her stop eating.

    I wouldn't think so unless it was for a long period of time. How long since you moved her?
