jittery leo

x1angelbabyx Oct 26, 2003 08:52 PM

so, there was this family gathering at the house... and everyone was interested in seeing my new leo. there were the certain few who were deathly afraid and the certain few who wanted to let him walk on them. so pretty much... those who wanted to hold, got the chance of having melvin walk across their arms and hands, even the little three year old put his hands together between mine and let him walk across both our hands.. he loved it. he was out for a total of 10 minutes.

i put him back in his home and was feeding him but he acts a bit jumpy. if i get closer, he runs toward something and tries to be steady.. then hides in his humid hide...comes out to eat, goes back in... he's just kinda jumpy... is he stressed? i wanna leave him alone for a couple days (still feeding tho) just so he can get it together... any suggestions of why he's being jittery and how i can help him?

He's probably just a little frazzled by all the company. I know I would be too.

thanks
yeah today he was pretty calm when i walked in my room he just put his head up, but didn't run this time AND he didn't freak out during feeding like he did yesterday. i guess it's the shock of the loud relatives i have ... all those grabby hands....
