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.

Re: Kings of the forum!

I love MBKs, seeing the different growth rates just between members here is nifty.
And petulant pissbaby is my favorite nickname for any animal ever haha

It's even written on the side of his enclosure, haha. He's just been a butt for like, 6 months or so--angry tail rattling and yes, peeing, every time I handle him.

I miss my mellow hatchling. :P I should probably handle him more, not less, and see if he gets over himself.

Re: Kings of the forum!

Hahaha I remember reading that it was on his cage. I laughed so hard when I read that. You're the one who describes it as 'angry peeing' don't you? I use that term now haha.

Here's an update on my Eir. Roughly 90g, fresh shed, and currently taunting my cat as I type. He can't get to her cage so she goes up to the glass and looks at him and he paces and meows. I swear she does it on purpose as payback.

Eir's officially one year old. I've pushed back her feedings to once every 7 days, give or take one, from 5-6 days. She's a hopper garbage disposal.
