Okey-doke~ Thank you all so very very much for your insights and the sharing of your stories. Here's what I think is going on given all the info that has been shared: Zelda was never held or anything, and then is put into a bag and shipped FedEx to a new place and she was very stressed. I also believe she was very hungry!! I do not believe that the little 19g fuzzy was anything but a teaser meal for her. I did not see any noticeable lump along her noodleness as Diana suggested I ought to see! I am not going to stress her out this weekend by trying to hold her; I think she is still hungry and still uptight and I would prefer she be as settled in and confident in her surroundings as is possible. I fed on Thursday night, so I think I'll wait 5 days (Tuesday night) and feed her a 27g pup since this is much smaller than what Jo is feeding Lynn's boa who is only a bit older than Zelda. As Jimmi has said, I will stick with pups for the foreseeable future to make sure she is good with the larger prey. On Friday I will go very slowly and do as Lynn has suggested and just put the hook in and see what she does; then touch her with it, etc.
So, let me know how this sounds!! Thanks again!!!![]()
