Striking out of aggression/defense/hunger? Something else?

[GpBp]

Wohoo, what a hungry girl !

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

Thanks Zina! I've noticed she'd calmed down a bit already Bea is very calm when out, so I'm thinking Pocket will calm more as she grows. She had 8 crickets yesterday, Wow!

Thanks again
