I haven't (knock on wood) had much problems with this so far (knocking on wood again).



However -- my albino does get a bit stressed when I clean his tub -- if I take away too much of his smell -- he'll do the whole nose rub routine for days -- so when I do clean his tub I make sure that I put back a little of the old substrate and it seems to keep him calm and feeding just fine. Just as routine if I'm moving animals up in cage size I do normally move their hide with them -- so maybe that little bit of scent security is enough -- I don't know.



As for Jays CA comment - I remember when I first started getting balls shipped most of the ones from FL spent their first week or two in the water bowl which was bothersome -- I've since learned that if I order from a FL breeder I need to make sure that I keep their tub nice and humid and then wean them off of it. LOL - and just for the record my most pain in the butt feeder is the one Jay sent some 3 1/2 years ago and she did spend a good week or more in the water bowl -- LOL -- but she is now a fabulous feeder and a new mom to boot!!
