shy female, stupid male. help!

bathory Oct 16, 2004 07:03 AM

ok, now they are slightly bigger and i am feeding them more (thanks to everyone who helped with that), there is something wrong with luna. she is normally so cuddly when she's handles but now shes lethargic and goes really brown and hides on me in sleeves, behind my back, under duvets with her nose out etc. this is very wierd as she hates being under things generally. also, zodiac keeps chasing her around the living room, nodding and waving and has bitten her neck a coupkle of times (not hard but enough for us to worry).
will someone please tell us if there is something wrong? also we are still not sure if luna is female. she acts very different from zodiac and is not as colourful or as crested, her femoral pores are not so developed but i feel she masy be slightly younger as she is developing a bit slower.
pleeeease help!!!
Rachel.

i think that luna is deninatly a female due to zodiac's "strange" behavior this behavior is him trying to be romantic and have his way with her, i noticed the same thing with my female when i first introduced her to my male, mating was the only thing on my male's mind and for the next couple of months my female seemed stressed when i took her out and even when she was in the cage she was stressed and always stayed on the opposite end away from the male. But now i think shes settled down and so has he, and the two are inseparable they are always together, whether it be sleeping(sometimes so close they're on top of each other), basking, swimming, and just hanging around, so i hope this has helped. good luck.
