New Scrub - Very Frightened / Nervous

That’s great, though!! Yeah, sorry. I’m pretty sure I forgot my password and was just too lazy to go through the steps. Is that sad? I have no idea how long it’s been. Last I heard updates, she was always scared and flighty! I’m glad she’s found her scrub confidence.

And YES, that feeding response is like nothing I have ever seen. My guy always acts like he’s starving. The other day, I gave him a medium AND a small rat...and he still acted like a devil until I heated a chick, too! I know I’ve been feeding him light lately because I moved back into my apartment (I had to go stay with fam in Texas for a year because I had a brutal, Viking-style surgery) and had a whole bag of chicks in the freezer.

Chicks are way too small, so I’ve been tossing him 3 at a time...but it’s still not really enough. Anyway, I digress. MANY breeding scrub keepers take their scrubs off food for the entire winter, so he is crying to the wrong person! I started feeding him every two weeks to keep him from getting crabby and throwing a fit. And I swear to god, man. He has long since learned that the sound of a hair dryer, no matter how many rooms away, means food. But now, just in case...it’s also the sounds of a vacuum cleaner, carpet shampooer, and the dishwasher. If he is ever lost, all I need is a blowdryer. It’s like a dog whistle to him.

It is sad! There’s only so many scrub owners on here!

Yea, chicks are too small for me! I feed my girl a jumbo rat or a couple large quail every two weeks. And she’s still skinny. All those calories go to her length! Haha
