Hi - mine are also very shy, and I learned to coax them out through feeding. Same time, same place every day, and eventually they will scurry up for you. Also, when they are stressed, they will go back in hiding for a time. I just moved about 10 to a smaller pond, and I haven't seen them for about two weeks. Won't even come out for food yet. I'd just say to be patient. I'm in 5a too, so they are slowing down considerably right now. Here's a pic before I moved some of them in late September. - Dax
