Puffed up and angry!?

[lovemylittleyoshi]

Hello,

My beardie is three years old and is always happy and loves to cuddle. Today when I came home from lunch she was all puffed up with a black beard and when I got closer to her she opened her mouth, as if she was going to bite me. This is extremely unusual for her - I've never seen her like this. She pooped while I was at work - a normal one. And she just looks pissed but nothing has changed within her environment. She's been puffed up all day, except this morning when she woke up she was fine. Does anyone know if this is just a normal attitude they tend to go through? I feel so confused.. any feedback would be great.

It could be something weird. Slick was puffed and angry one day. I couldn't figure out why. Then I found a big wasp that had gotten into the house and was buzzing his cage. (He has a screen so he couldn't get to it) killed the wasp and he was fine. Sounds stupid I know but... As long as he's still eating and pooping, and it doesn't go on for more than a few days I wouldn't worry.

Thank you for your reply. I put a blanket over her viv because I figured she wanted to be left alone. She was better by 8:00pm, and now she is sleeping. Hopefully tomorrow she will be in a better mood. The wasp thing doesn't sound silly at all, I'm sure Bella would be annoyed as well. Haha!

Thanks again.
