Hiya guys
My little Tiffany seems to be settling in well and I've been working hard on making her enclosure comfortable for her, but theres just one thing...she only seems to eat the main bulk of her food when I hand feed her!!! I've only had her almost 2 weeks, is this normal??? I'm worried that she won't eat on her own. The other day I left her food in her dish, i came home from work and nothing had been eaten, so i hand fed her (the same food that was in her dish) and she almost took my hand off!!! Is this normal behaviour? am I forcing her to eat unwittingly? Tiffany is 18 months ond and is a spur thigh. I've recently (about 5 days ago) put cyprus bed in her enclosure which she loves but i have seen her nibble at it!! do you think this could be an issue???
All feedback greatfully recieved.
many thanks
