Rorschach's behavior is concerning me a little bit. Right after I woke her up she was bouncy and cute like collareds should be. Since then, she's slowed down. She's awake most days, but doesn't run around. She mostly sits kind of sheltered under a rock on the warm side and just watches the room. She'll eat a little, but mostly only if I stick it in her face, and she is pooping. She's still looking very, very chubby, so isn't losing weight - she's just not bouncy.

Naturally today she's moving around, just because I decided to post (Mary, Mary, quite contrary). I'm not yet worried, but a little concerned. Any thoughts?

Taking a break on a rainy day?

Sometimes my collareds will camp out in there cave all day.

I think barometric air pressure might have somthing to do with it. No other explanation I have been able to come to.

When I've noticed them my doing this, it always seem a low pressure air system is in the area. Like rain or bad weather. Thats what I've noticed.

Have the temperatures where you live gone down, has it suddenly gotten colder? Just a thought that she may still kinda be in that sleepy frame of mind.

And shes a growing girl, see any orangey or peach developing on her at all? Since she has been out of brumation for a couple weeks maybe she will be ovulating soon. Just keep an eye on her.

I read somewhere on here that they seem to be moody when the air pressure is low, and have found it to be true.

They also seem to hide themselves away for a while before they shed their skin too, but tend to lighten up once its ready to come off, hope all is well x x
