When she was moving the food item towards her stomach she started to kind of jerk around like maybe something was painful and when she sneezes she does the same kind of movement like somethings hurting her...nothings comeing out of her mouth and shes not breathing out of her mouth its just like a hiss kind of. Im going thorught everything it could be and just dont know??? Help me please! Thank you in advance!

My IJ carpet tends to give a little hiss or huff when he feels threatened. Maybe this is what you're experiencing. It just sort of sounds like if you were to blow air out your nose. Sometimes he'll do it a lot, a few times a minutes if he's feeling particularly stressed out. Maybe your carpet was just telling you to let him be while he eats. I have also experienced my friend's jungle carpet make the same "huffing" noises, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
