I'm yet to see Nicole in all her glory but I've been told to bring sunglasses for the stunning beauty and shininess. n/j.
Yes. I'm with the 'Leave it alone Brigade'
Leaving them alone after relocating is essential. one or 2 weeks. It works wonders.
If you change the waterbowl, leave him alone, lost his stick? (because a kookaburra took it after you'd rinsed it and put it out to dry) replace stick and leave him alone ---- New hide box and he is hiding from it ? - leave him alone.
They adjust.
I changed my small "Darwin" to a larger tank, and I placed the "furniture" exactly as it was in the smaller 1. She did a few laps and , found her bearings (go to water bowl, over stick to red glass block turn left and go one slither and there's the precious hide box). She must've thought she'd shrunk. lol
I also never handle them after they've been fed for a few days.
On the other hand (* holds up hand* I also have fingers and a thumb) - If they bite while being handled - I don't put them back in their tank. I hold them for about 5 more minutes, so they know I'm not putting them down because they bit me. Do you think that works?
Em
any little upset can make them insecure (? Is that the right word?)
