Sorry guys but I moved this post from down bottom because I was thinking that it might be overlooked....



Mike, the only color change I have really seen on her was a on her cheeks, and on a small spot on the top of her head, those spots turned a blueish green color. The first time was when I had been holding her in my hand and petting her for quite some time, and the second time was shortly after her first bath when she was still wrapped up in her towel...

But nothing like yours in your pic!!



I wonder why? Is she just too young or something?





Oh yeah and while I am thinking it I want to ask you a question... Gypsy will not drink out of her water bowl!! I have gotten her to do it only a couple of times scince I have had her. And we have had her scince October...The only time she will drink is if I dip my finger in her water bowl and hold it above her head, and then she drinks the drops off.



I know that sometimes she is very thirsty because the past couple weeks, just about every other morning, when I put my hand in her tank to take out her water bowl, she will come running right over to my fingers or hand and kinda start pecking away at me(not biting, just putting her mouth on me like she does to get the water off my fingertips.)

So I know she is thirsty, after I rinse and refill her dish I dip my finger in it and she drinks off it..



No matter how many times I show her the water dish she will RARELY use it! I dont know what to do...I tried the ice cube trick a few times, by putting it on top ofher screen above her water dish and letting it drip down in. I have got her to drink off the kitchen faucet twice also, but she dont seem to want that either...I have tried giving her cool water, and room temperature....What am I to do about my pickey drinker??! I am worried she will dehydrate!



I have town water which is chlorinated, so I even tried giving her bottled water with no go! And speaking of chlorination, is my tap water bad for her?



Sorry for all the questions!!



And once again, thanksfor taking the time to read!
