I was checking on Iris last night because she had a pretty good glow going on, and I wanted to see if we had an ovulation yet. But she seemed really stressed out and jumpy and kept trying to get away from me, which is really out of character for her. She has been very tolerant to handling up until now.

My other female, Kay, is pretty laid back and didn't seem to mind handling when she was in the pre-ovulation stage. In fact, in previous years before I knew you shouldn't handle them while they are in their final month, she even tolerated handling then as well.

So is Iris unusually irritable or is Kay unusually laid back? Should I worry about Iris or is this fairly normal?
