Wohoo, what a hungry girl !Originally Posted by GpBp
Sorry for not updating! Pocket ate... wait for it... NINE crickets last night! Wow, hungry gal. I fed her when I got home at 4:00 pm, and waited until 8:45 pm to handle her. She did great! I have one question though-
She's pretty jumpy. Not like crazy, I don't have to worry about going from tank-bed, I'll just cover her with my hand. But she does jump quite a bit. I think it's just out of curiosity, which is good! I just worry about her jumping away or taking a leap of faith! Any advice? Thank you
From what I've heard they are jumpier while they are so small and usually calm a bit once older. Just keep the handling sessions short and often. Let her jump from hand to hand. Either be above a bed or closer to the ground.
Smeagol doesn't really hold still very long either. Not like a Bearded Dragon or anything.
If she isn't the "spazzy" kind that just flies off your hand and runs for her life every time, you're doing good. Just keep the gentle handling up, short sessions, end on a good note. She will calm down and take the time to look around
