soaking overnight

ladderfarm Sep 10, 2004 12:12 AM

I have a 2 month old female pastel that eats well and sheds great. Last night as I was saying good night to the crew, I noticed that Maryland is in her water dish. I thoght she must be trying to cool down? The hot side of her tub is 90 and the cool is about 81. The water is on the cool side. This morning I check on her and she was still there. I removed her. Tonight Same thing. Back in the dish. I removed her instead of waiting til morning. Any ideas what is going on in her little head?

One of mine did that once. He was in there for days. He was perfectly healthy. I just left him alone and he was fine. So I guess what I'm saying is something doesn't have to be wrong. Of course it doesn't hurt to check but if you can't find anything then no big deal. At least it wasn't in my case.
