Re: Kings of the forum!

My little girl is semi-brumating. She decided not to eat for nearly three weeks but finally ate last week. She was out and about a bunch today so I decided to take the opportunity to try to handle her and get a weight on her which I haven't done in weeks. She's 123g! Her last weigh was 108g. I'm not worried about her not eating but it IS frustrating. I've been offering every two weeks, and then one week after that if she refuses still. I've seriously cut down handling as it stresses her out. She pees, she flails, she tries to fly from my hands... I'd rather her just eat and sleep during the winter with a few minutes to weigh and look after her. Tonight she surprised me with the best handling session we've ever had, she nearly climbed into my hands and hardly flinched when I touched her. I think my plan is working.
