I don't know how to describe this...
Tonight I was holding my little girl. She doesn't really like me very much, and she still won't eat in front of me. But, I am being consistent and persistent with her. We are bonding, slowly...
But tonight, we were sitting on the couch. I prefer to put her on my belly, my chest, or my lap since she likes to dart off.. sometimes she ends up in my hair (which is to my waist), that's not a pretty/fun sight. So, she was sitting on my thigh, and she was being good, for about 5 minutes. All of the sudden, her breathing got faster, not like real fast, but faster and much deeper. She opened her mouth and it.. um.. shook? It's like her bottom jaw jiggled. It was almost funny to watch, now that I think back, but it freaked me out. I scooped her up in my hand and she went dark (of course). She did it again while she was in my hand.
After that she became restless, as usual, and tried to get away from me, so I put her back in her viv. It totally freaked me out when she did this. I have had her for about 3 months now, and I've never seen this type of behavior before. Um.. is it normal? (I hate that kind of question, btw!)
Thanks for any help!
