maya – Jan 28, 2011 12:00 AM

Maya has been much calmer in the last week, and while we have no way of knowing without cortisol tests, we can only assume that her stress levels are lower. We know that when she's stressed, it can be a noisy exhibit with her posturing and growling towards Aidan, but it's been very quiet lately, and that's a good sign. This could be the effect of one of our four management tools which includes the D.A.P spray, fresh straw beds daily for a comfortable place to rest, chicken on a daily basis and the Anixtane supplement. At this point, we will continue all four until spring.
