Hi There,
I'm new here and joined up when researching my problem with my Octopus.
I work as an Aquarist in a public aquarium and look after a Giant Pacific Octopus, she used to be very active in her tank and responsive to her keepers, always came over to us when we were working around her tank and at feeding time. However for the past couple of months she isn't active at all and always stays in the same cornor of her tank and never comes out, when we are trying to get her attention she sometimes sticks a tenticle out so we can give her food but then goes straight back to her cornor.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem or any idea what I could do to? I am currently making new enrichment toys to see if she gets interested in hope that she will explore her tank again.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
