Hi All ,
my big girl is due to come out the fridge at the end of the week after nearly a 4 week stint and I would like to know how to re-acclimatise her into her tank? I was thinking that I put cold water (50/50? or more) into the tank then float her fridging container in that and let it all just come to room temperature before turning her out. Is this slow enough for her. I have moved the tank to a colder room (under the air conditioning vent) as I suspect (with all I now know) that the water was getting too warm and she was stressing for some time. I have also put sand in the bottom.
I do have another question. She hasn't eaten at all since being in the fridge which I'm not too bothered about but as I'm changing her diet now she is out, how do I get her interested in worms and pellets? I guess I'm hoping her interest in food will return as she used to be as she was a good hunter and stealth was her game. Always was a talking point with visitors, show them how she pounced. I suppose it is a wait and see situation?
