Biting beardie help!!

[jazzibells82]

I've had my little girl for several months now and everything has been pretty good, she's always been fairly friendly, eats well..etc etc I've been remodeling my house and have been pretty busy so she hasn't been getting as much attention as much as she is used to...I had her out today and everything seemed to be okay and she kept inching closer to my face and suddenly she started trying to bite my eye when I reached up to try to move her she started attacking my hand, i was a little upset so I put her back in her enclosure and left her alone. Is there anything I can possibly do to help smooth this out with her? She just finished shedding and she is eating great, I'm just not sure what caused her anger...

hello there!
maybe its because of everything going on in the house... phoenix gets his panties in a wad if i turn my vaccuum on lol :lol: he will be upset with me for HOURS lol. when it upsets him i put one of my shirts in with him to comfort him and then we are okay... maybe wear one of your shirts for a while and put it in with him afterwards...

I suspect she saw your eyeball moving and it caught her attention, made her think it might be food. The biting at your hand could have been from her being in feeding mode and just misplacing what she was biting at.
Keep her away from your face from now on and maybe try feeding her before handling.

thanks, I have 3 beardies and she is by far the crankiest always has been. The other two are happy go lucky and she gets upset at the slightest things. It's almost funny how different she is like a cranky old bat..lol.
