Heatwave

Does anyone's BPs get extremely grumpy during this heat wave we are having?....When I checked on mine yesterday, 17 out of 24 were striking as soon as the tubs were opened!!
I know I feel like that after a few 95+ degree days in a row...but I thought in Africa its always hot like that???

Its called summer hunger. Every environmental cue is telling them to eat eat eat.

I don't have any grumpy bps. I pulled most of them out when my family was visiting last week, and they were all very well behaved. Did get one or two hisses, but that's normal for those girls.

So should I feed more frequently in the summer?

Did you have some thunder storms roll through recently? We did down this way last night. It's probably more related to the changes in pressure than the temps.

It was 105 yesterday, 104 today...none of my guys seem grumpy. They all ate well yesterday without problems.

Then again, their temp isn't being affected so they aren't aware of how hot it is outside.

We sure did. Definite change in barometric pressure over the last few days. My guys are more aggressive as well.
