Yay! She shed and is in a much better mood now. I gave the shed skin to my god-son as part of his Christmas gift and he's totally thrilled (he's 8).

So now I have another question ... when they call worms 'dilly,' what do they mean? I want to alternate her food between fish and worms, since I know that even rosy reds have issues, but the smallest worms the bait shop has that aren't red wrigglers are called 'dilly worms.' They said that they're just small nightcrawlers. Are they safe for her? The nightcrawlers they have are HUGE and only come in a 2-dozen pack, which would take her ages to eat, since each of the worms is close to half her length.

Thanks!
