Woma Balls.. Do they wobble???

OK.. So.. I have heard mixed reviews on this one..

I love the patterns/colours of the spiders.. but I do not wish to work with them because of the neurological issues..

I have seen some very nice womas, that look a lot like spiders..


Do the womas, also have this neurological issue?? I have heard a lot of "I have heard they do" but have not heard any feedback from people who actually deal with womas..


So.. do you have a woma? does it have a "wobble" or any other neurological symptoms?

Thanks :D

I have only one Woma.. (Booo...) and it doesn't wobble.

... do you plan to make more womas? :P

Of course! Next year, since she is a female. :)

I've yet to see a woma that wobbles or corkscrews including the 4 I've owned and the several my friends own.

The Womas I've had never wobbled. I still have a male from last year and he doesn't act different at all. So they don't grow into into it either. So who has a wobbly woma to have started this? Because in my opinion, it's just a rumor. If one Woma ball wobbles, that isn't enough to say the entire population of Womas is prone to the same neurological issues as the spider.

None of mine ever wobble, and I've never seen a wobbly one.

I have a friend with a woma that wobbles like a really bad spider. It's painful to watch, actually.

So yeah, some of them definitely do. But I haven't heard that "all womas wobble" the way I've heard that "all spiders wobble".

To be safe, I'd actually handle a couple of spiders at a show that have really obvious wobbles, so you know what it looks like? And then ask to handle the woma you want to buy. Better yet, ask to see it feed, since wobbles really show up when the animal is excited.

I have a Woma that corkscrews. Next time I see him I'll snap a pic and post it.

My woma doesn't seem to have a wobble at all, and I have really watched her close....

"Woma wobble" is alliterative. :P

The Womas that I own and have owned in the past have never displayed any of the Spider weirdness.:)

I have a female that does wobble some at feeding time/when she gets excited. It is more of a shake than a wobble though. It is also nowhere near as bad as my spider or my bumble bee.
If you have her out of her tub for handling/cleaning there is no sign of it, but rat smell does it for her lol.

I have had spiders, and I sold them off.. as I do not wish to deal with this wobble issue.. The reason I have asked this, is because I had considered getting a woma, since they look similar to some low patterned spiders, but someone spoke up that their woma wobbled..

I thought.. well.. I already saw 1 person start a boi thread because they bought a woma.. and it was actually a spider with a wobble.. etc etc.. so maybe they just had themselves a spiders (it was a fairly new person, so I did not know if they knew the differences etc)..

but, then others chimed in that they heard it was an issue with womas as well..


And judging by the responses on this thread and the other.. it sounds like it is not as bad of an issue, but still an issue..

Thank you for those who have chimed in, and please keep the comments coming :D
