    Exclamation I'm concerned about my female ball.

    I'm not sure if anything is wrong with her but just incase I wanted to ask. Whenever I go to handle her the bottom of her belly by her tail get bright pink like she's about to take a dump. Everytime I hold her for more than a few minutes she craps everywhere, wet, nasty, and half the size of her rat pups. Even if she gets done and I go to handle her she just does it again. Please help me, I've ruined a plant and a rag so far

    Re: I'm concerned about my female ball.

    i think most members like a little more information about the set up she lives in (what type, temps, humidity, hides, etc) and the age and size (weight) of the animal.

    to me it sounds like she could be stressed? how do you handle her when she reacts this way? are you jerking her around or are you using nice smooth movements to calm her? is she a hatchling or is she very young? if thats the case then she might not be used to being handled and she's releasing her bowels as a fear response to get you to put her down because she may be afraid that you're a predator and are going to eat her.
