[CHATTERING X5, HELLO NEW BEST OTTER FRIEND, SHE LOVES YOU SO MUCH]
I pretty much have to get her by the scruff of the neck and drag her through the water until she can do it herself. It sounds harsh but that's really how they learn in the wild, the adults just...haul them through the water and they figure it out from that.
And she eats a lot of fish. Small water invertebrates, stuff like that. Sometimes she gets out and finds bird eggs, I think, but I try to keep her better fed than that so she's not pillaging nests.
