Question about fishing loot boxes

I've played through the bulk of this modpack, and until I started doing testing for a potential fishing-only run, I had never caught the box item while fishing. I had lockboxes, treasure chests, and neptune's bounties, and I even found boxes in loot chests and dig spots, but I had never fished up a box until I was fishing in my test world. And even then, only once. The normal box would be insanely valuable to get in a fishing-only run, but I have no idea what its catch conditions would be that make it so much rarer than the other boxes. Does anyone know how the pack decides which loot box you fish up? And more to the point, how would you increase the odds of getting the normal box?

My Bear/Dusty Largos Aren't Eating from Slime Feeders

I'm trying a world focused on slimes, and when I was deciding which breeds to combine, I figured that best case scenario, bear + dusty would be content with the dominant diet, worst case scenario, they still need to eat bones. If I manually feed them, they act like picky slimes, but when I set up feeders, they refuse to eat either. Is there a workaround, or should I just kill them and re-assign my breeds?

EDIT: I think I finally figured out what's happening: If my bear/dusty largo hasn't eaten, it will eat 1 honey item. Then, the slime sees:

- It needs food

- Eating a honey item will make it sad because it's picky

- It can't eat a bone because it sees its diet is only honey items

- It wants to avoid becoming sad, so it doesn't eat the honey item

BUT manually feeding them by dragging them over either food type works for some odd reason.
