My burm is about ten feet now and two years old. She is a great, aggressive feeder which I love! I never have to worry about her not taking a rabbitt. She is about 40 lbs and eats one 6 lb rabbitt every two weeks. They are either thawed or prekilled, depending on where i get them.

My question is, how do I calm her down? If I reach into the cage the wrong way, she will bite. If she is crawling across the carpet, and sees me move on the couch, she hunts me! She will come across the room and strike at anything that moves, even with NO prey smell around. I have a big hook that I have to use to get her out of the cage, and when I'm holding her she's fine.

Anything i can do besides feed her more? (which I don't want to do)
