Re: nanitics are sick!
If she was covered in honey, that's probably why. Offer your sugary liquid soaked in a piece of cotton, and on a tray so that cleanup is easy.

Re: nanitics are sick!
I am not sure I understood what you meant with the legs moving, but just remember that they could drown in any large drop of liquid. Also, honey is very sticky so it can be dangerous for them to directly feed on it at a young age, especially when the nanitics have no experience with it.
