Lady Raspberry [queen of the scaredy cats] is VERY shy and sometimes when I try to pick her up, she launches herself 2 inches into the air and scoots around till she uprights herself. Because of this I decided to cover with an opaque container lid when feeding her, but of course this princess got scared of that too and would only eat once it was removed. She also gets scared of her food enough sometimes that I need to sit there and hold the food for her while she munches. Thankfully, I have a pair of tweezers that close when not pressed so it holds on to it for her, but it still makes it hard to find a properly sized cover for her so she will not go missing after her feast. She is very silly and stupid and I love her for that.
