So Joga is almost 8 months now, she's a very sweet beardie and a fairly mellow girl. Likes to sit on me and look around when I take her out in the morning, but later in the day prefers to roam around the room and look out the window if I get her out. Sometimes she just sits and stares, like she's spacing out. I'll pet her chin and it's like she snaps out of it and looks around. Does that ALL the time. I wonder sometimes if she's brain damaged or something.
last couple of days, she's been picky about eating in her feeding bin (I really don't like crickets in her viv). She ate 2 or 3 crickets and then stopped and started nosing the side of the bin wanting to get out. I put her back in the viv and took out some of her furniture and faced her to the corner. Then ONE AT A TIME, I would chuck a cricket into the corner and she would eat it. Now it's been 2 days in a row of this twice a day. With her, after one time, anything becomes a habit.
Let's not forget the salad drama either. She gets it first thing in the morning before bugs and we make sure she takes 2 or 3 bites before we give up and give in to the bug fest. But, we discovered she likes blueberries, so I smear them on the mustard greens so they stick and when she bites the blueberry she gets a mouthful of mustard greens. This was working pretty good for the last couple of weeks, but I don't like her eating blueberries every day. This morning, I discovered if i just held a piece of mustard green in front of her face, she would bite it and eat it. Ate at least 8 bites this morning, ONE AT A TIME, with me handing the mustard greens to her, picking them out of the salad. There's another unwanted habit.
Tonite, after I put her back in her viv she took a giant leap up against the wall paper (it's a desert background, and she was aiming for the rock). Landed on her butt, I felt so bad. She looked at me so disgusted and disappointed. The only time she glass dances is after she poops in her viv (which is only once in a great while thank goodness - we usually get her in the bath with that), and she'll go to the other side and look at her reflection in the glass and roam back and forth.
WTH.
