She dunked her head under like she was diving in the pool several times and the last four inches of her tail was wagging like a dogs. She would peep her head over the side then dive back in. I left her in for like 10 minutes and she was a happy girl. I don't know if that is usual, but I'm happy she enjoyed it. She still hasn't eaten and it's been about three weeks. I think she's paused growing and just isn't hungry. She looks great, not skinny. So I'm just trying her every 3-4 days with a mouse. What do you guys do with mice that aren't eaten? Thanks!
I actually just tried out some swimming for my boy! He was in there today (he was a little constipated and a nice soak in some lukewarm water cleared that up right away turns out he loves swimming!). As for the mouse that depends on if you feed live or F/T. If it's F/T (which many recommend) and it hasn't been out too long I usually just seal it back up in a bag and re-freeze it. If I've had more than a couple tries with the same mouse I just toss it.
