Welcome to YT - Glad you found us. Ginger is an absolute doll!
Are you her 1st home? Or was she with her momma up until now? I'm just curious about her previous surroundings and her routine there - it may help explain her behavior.
I would think the food thing may have to do with how comfortable & acclimated she is to her new surroundings. She must have been hungry if she decided to eat.
Others may have more ideas for you.
