Not curling up in a ball anymore?
Hi everyone,
Maybe I'm just too worried about her and seeing bad signs where I shouldn't be...but perhaps you guys can let me know.
I've had my BP for 2 weeks now. At first, she would always be curled up in her hides. She now still uses them but I don't find her curled up in a ball anymore. She is usually sprawled around in them. She has peed twice but hasn't pooped for me yet. I fed her twice - she ate her first frozen mouse yesterday (that I heated up with the hair dryer for her following the stuff I read here) - yippee! Is it normal for them to not curl up?
Thanks again.

That sounds fine Most of mine, especially my larger ones, never ball up. I have one that outgrew her one hide; not because she was technically too big for it; but because she would expand around the insides of it so much that I could not get her out!

Your Bp is too cute!!! Honestly, I have had my BP for almost 2 1/2 months now and have never once seen her ball up. I get so jealous seeing all the cute balled up pics of other BP's on here... But like Krazy said it is good because they only ball when they are scared or stressed. So I'll take my girl not balling as a good sign!
