have a few questions??

ballfreak Jun 24, 2011 10:23 AM

i have a group of 4 balls there about 6 years old i really dont interact with them much as far as handling them and taking them out of there rack. so my question is this one or two of them some times act FREAKKKYY as far as bugging out when i open there tub all the way or attempt to take them out? ok maybe its obvious that since i dont handle them often this is why there acting this way but i wanted to see if any one else has the same issue or something similar? thank you!

I would believe that if they are well fed and they are in a clean environment they would be fine. The only ones that are freaky in my collection are the ones that I forgot to feed. They definitely have a not so nice way of letting you know they are hungry, especially at night if you open the tub and they are hungry. I have some balls that come about 2 feet out of there tubs when it is feeding day. I think it is pretty cool. I wish they all did that. I definitely have a couple that are a little more aggressive than most, but they don't seem too bad.

Good Luck,
Bill

yea that not so nice way isn't fun at all. first night I had my normal girls here one of them came at least 2' out of the tub at me, she then pounded 3 small rats and tried to ask me for a 4th. she's def one of my most aggressive feeders. have another that is just aggressive and will bite me but ignore food
