Thanks for your ideas and support. The missing link in the equation (I think)--- the temperature! In addition to adjusting to a new environ., she was cooler in our home than she had been kept at the pet shop we purchased her from. We warmed her habitat up and she perked up, and ate a lovely selection from the spring mix we offered her. We spoke to her vet who said uniform warmth won't necessarily serve her for the long term, but may be the right thing for right now. We have taken that to heart and will continue to tinker with all elements available on an ongoing basis. Phew! Again, many thanks! Until next time....
