Hey gang...HH and I deduced that Bindy's weird behavior is in all probability, scared of everything. She flinches at every movement, and as of late, even scared of crickets lol.

I've been trying to handle her more, and even let her on the floor to explore. But all she does is sit there, frozen with fear. I don't know where she's developed this fear...as I've always taken good care of her, and this fear has only started in the last month and a half. She's about 8 months old, btw.

She's in a 55 gallon tank, and yes, she started the fear thing after I moved her from her 20 gallon. Just today I covered 3 sides of her tank with brown packing paper.

She's still only eating a fraction of what she used to, but she drinks plenty, and poops normally. She's very healthy looking, even has a pudgy lil gut. lol

I really wanna help her to not be so fearful. I'm trying to handle her LOTS more, but now I'm second guessing myself, wondering if this stresses her out MORE.

If anyone can offer ANY suggestions, I'd be very grateful. Really not sure what to do. Thanks, everyone!

Niddy
