Well, its been a while since I've been up here and of course when I finally come back it's due to some concerns I have with Haru. Recently she's been acting strange. It's like she's gotten a sudden burst of energy. For the past 5 days she's been glass surfing and ansty when usually she's pretty calm and will wait until I take her out in the afternoon or after work. When I do take her out she's been exploring more often than usual, which I guess is pretty good but it's just not like her.
To add to this she hasn't been showing much interest in food which is worrying way more than the change of behavior. I just want her to eat. My first thought was maybe she's trying to lay eggs, but I think she's still a bit young for that? She's almost a year old so I guess it's not impossible, but it doesn't seem likely to me especially since there aren't any other Beardies in our home. Another thing it I figured she would look bigger around the belly, but doesn't seem to-- or is that not always an indicator of egg laying?
I'd also say brumating, but I think a sudden burst of energy is kind of the opposite of brumating. Though after she goes through these weird moments she calms back down, climbs up on her tree near the heat, and then just kind of chills there for the rest of the day.
No new changes have been done to her enclosure, in fact she just finally started climbing on the fake tree I put in her enclosure 2 months ago. She does need a new UVB as it's just over the 6 month mark, but her current one should last her until the new one gets in through the mail-- hopefully today since I ordered the thing over 5 days ago. It's a Reptisun 10.0 by the way. Her temps are normal and range from the 102 to the 110 range-- it's been hard to maintain the past week or so since the outside temperatures are affecting it. I usually try to balance it in the middle temp range. Darn those cooler temperatures.
Anyways, any ideas on what could be the issue? She's not acting sick, but I'm worried about her. ;n;
