odd behavior / normal behavior

mikefedzen Jul 15, 2011 02:44 AM

this little pinstripe female mexican milk of mine acts very unusual at times... last night after feeding I saw her on her back.

not the first time I found her like this, last time you could see her muscles moving as if she was crawling normally. except she was flat on her back going nowhere. odd. should I be concerned?

and as for normal behavior, here's another picture from last night.

Yeah, that is EXTREMELY odd. I gotta say that would make me very uneasy seeing that..LOL!. I don't see anything you could do either except to just keep on keepin' on...

The photo sure does depict how they got their scientific latin name "annulata" though with the completetly encircling white rings.

Yes, second pic..............QUITE normal!..

Hey Mike

I don't know that seems really weird! Never seen that.like Doug said there's not much you can do except hope it's nothing serious.

Good luck.

That is really strange, never heard of that one.

The albino is a beaut! The colors on it remind me of that albino elapsoides that was pictured here a few years back.
