Not drinking

[SimonTheCham]

We just gave zoe a new cage and shes eating and such but she doesent seem to be able to find her water... she has been a bit more on edge lately and i know that its a new cage and shes scared but is there a possibility its due to dehydration? we currently have 2 drippers on each side of her cage and there are obvious leaves that bead up as well as ways to get to them, but shell just sit there and look at the water? when i come back in te room she hasnt moved an inch towards them. should i pick her up and move her to them? that would stress her out a ton :/

I would leave her alone and let her get used to the new cage. She will drink when she wants to. Just keep an eye on her urates.

I agree that she may need time to settle, maybe try moving the drip pipe a bit closer to her in the meantime. Sure she will drink soon even if its when you not looking but as mentioned above urates are the best indicator.

good idea and i have tried that but i cant find any poops to take look at. she has a giant ficus, so i guess ill have to dig around in there. weird question but do you know when i should expect her to poop? like how long after her feeding
