What's Up With Ani? Any ideas all?

shannons Aug 05, 2003 09:43 PM

Hey - my baby (not so baby anymore, but I can tell she'll be on the smaller side from her growth thus far - she lost a foot as a hatchling - maybe related?) Anyway, we went away for the weekend and I now have a fierce, bite your hand off - mama I don't want any food, climbing up the walls little lady on my hands. Her lights are on timers, and just before we left she was finally eating out of my hand and taming down a bit. Any ideas for the multiple personality trick she's playing?

was she alone when you went away? or have someone with her or checking in on her? how long were you gone? it could be a reaction from being alone, it could be something has scared her badly, just keep working with her, double check all your temps also. What lighting do youhave? what do you feed? do you dust her food and offer good greens daily?

She was fed on Friday and then on Sunday so it was only one day she wasn't offered food. She has a shallow water dish she likes to splash in and gets some of her water that way. She won't eat greens yet, but her food - a variety of insects we raise- gets dusted daily. She has basking, UVB, and a UTH, which are all on timers, so her routine wans't really thowrn off while we were gone. Still mystified, but she had a good poop today, so maybe she ate a few bugs from her dish after the lights went out (she doesn't go to sleep right away like Ranger does- crazy baby dragon!) I usually empty her dish once she's asleep so she doesn't spazz. Appreciate anyone's advice who's experienced this personality change - even if it is only temporary.
