I just got back from out of town for Thanksgiving. I left my ball alone for 5 days. I offered her food, on schedule before I left and she was not remotely interested. I have heard it is not bad for them to miss a meal, so I just threw the mouse away and left. Today, the first thing I did when I came in the door was check on her and she is out in the open near the front of the tank (mine opens from the front) in a strike position. She struck at the glass the second my face appeared there. Did I freak the hell out of her, or is she just ravenous? I am defrosting a mouse as we speak, though normally she eats on Mondays, she is just acting too bizarre. Should I be worried? Help!
