"Warm end 85-90(85 on top of papertowel and in hide.Under papertowel on the plastic its 90), cool end 75ish"

That is too warm for Black milks,...in those tight quarters of the shoe box, it seems to me it cannot escape the heat to get to a cooler area. Gaigeae like it more in the mid 70's, as opposed to many other milks.

Turn down the heat a bit, and it should stop being so restless. Now I'm not saying it ISN'T hungry either, but the immediate problem is likely the heat.
