Do check back about 30 minutes or an hour later to see if she's consumed her food.
Many people I talked to told me not to put food directly into her cage like that because they begin to associate anything entering the cage as prey and they tend to strike out at anything that enters the cage. Is that something I should consider or is it not a problem? I've heard mixed opinions on the subject so I played it safe so far and tried to avoid it. I'm not afraid of getting bit every now and then but I'm not the only one who picks up her and I don't want them getting hurt. Would this feeding technique cause any problems with that?
