    i just got my baby bp on saturday and i have seen her "yawning" about 5 or 6 times. what is she doing? i know that sometimes they will yawn after eating to pop their jaw back into place, but i havent fed her yet (i'm trying to give her a week to settle in before handling or feeding). it seems like i also heard somewhere that they might yawn when they are hungry. is this true? and if so should i go ahead and try to feed her even though i have only had her for 3 days?

    No, no. It doesn't mean anything but that she's re-adjusting her jaw. It's normal and cute and nothing to sweat over.

    it could also mean they are tired too right? many other animals yawn when tired, and when mine first wake up, or are woken at some point in the day, they tend to yamn more as they cruise around. very shortly after they crash out again. it is very cute.
