Tonight, Leon [the Spider] was edgy while out and then wiggled down into the chair arm.
[one disassembled Homedics Shiatsu/neg. gravity chair billed to his account]
Then he peed all over me.
[good grief....not
another one who detests soiling their own home!]
Now he's got a full belly and is his cheery, cuddly self again.
He's only a little over 2 months old, perpetually hungry and gets jittery when his belly is empty.
He was only eating fuzzies before but has
no problem gulping down a more appropriately sized adult mouse.
I know breeders can't really afford to be feeding
lots of babies more than they need so he's underweight, I think.
['pyramid' shaped back/no "body fat"]
He'd eat much more if I allowed him to but I don't want to overload his system.
I'm really hoping the next Expo has a frozen rat supplier.
The last show was sold out early on and the only other supplier had frozen mice in a camping cooler on ice and they were covered in shavings, dirty and already thawing.
I could never have gotten them home safely in a 2 1/2 hour drive.
[especially when they already looked iffy/creepy]
Spider, my Fire, is the
worst for "guilt trips".
He/she [still not sure] pops out of the hide whenever I go by, swivels his/her neck around and will lay his/her head on top of the hide and look at me so pitifully, I have to stop and cuddle.
Otherwise, he/she goes back in the hide, neck outstretched and looks so dejected I can't stand it.....
