I have a two year old Ball that has suddenly become very agressive in the last week. He's captive bred, eats frozen, and has never been fed in his cage. He's always been handled regularly and has always been a good pet. Lately I have to use gloves to get him out of the cage and he strikes at my face when I handle him. He's also wanting to eat more than usual. He's almost 3 feet long and he's eating two adult mice a week and now he wants more. My vet says that I'm feeding him plenty, but he hasn't grown a single inch in the last year. Could it be that he's needing more food and he's ready to litterally bite my head off to get it? He's always been pretty aggresive with his food, but this is rediculous. Any ideas?

i'd say feed her more, try 3 or perhaps 4 mice at a time, remember this is the time of the year to put weight on your animals. hopefully with an increased diet you'll see some aggresion simmer down.

I would be feeding a lot more. I'm not saying that is the problem but it can't hurt.
