A cave would help reduce stress levels and build confidence. Very large terracotta pot (blind cave) or concrete drainage pipe or both perhaps. Cut lengthwise so they can't roll. Or at least a sunken log or several heavy rocks (not stacked).

thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter maybe I missed it. How do you dose vit b1?
If you mean by the injection, then Jello has never been injected, so far we injected two gulpers, two TSNxRTC hybrids, and one RTC. I gave a large excess, like 10x-100x excess, since these injections were meant to save their lives. Since B1 is highly water soluble, the excess is simply excreted I am told by our vet advisers.

Jello has been just tolerating her 240gal tank, it seemed to me - appetite on and off, moody, taking uncomfortable positions, because she is much longer by 6" or so than the tank's width and the tank's height, unable to assume a totally vertical position when begging under a lid. Plus we needed the tank space. So decided to give her a try in the less aggressive 4500 gal, where she had never been (she did spend a few years in the other 4500gal with the jumbos, some of whom were bothering Jello, hence the move year ago to the 240 gal to stop risking her life and health).

Also, she has had this fuzzy spot on her tail for like a year it seems. I had removed it physically but it comes back. This time I decided to dab it with concentrated potassium permanganate.
