I've worked myself up to the "almost ready to be scared" phase. As some of you know my female ig ate a piece of banana peel. She will raise up as if to poop and then take 2 steps backward and lash out her tail. She did go poop Thurs. a.m. just not as much as she normally does and the peel was eaten late 6/27. She did injure the tip of her tail with one of those pops & I thought it was a tail problem. But in watching her closely and seeing her just before she does the tail thing, I realize it's not really the tail causing a problem. Also after the house gets quiet for the night you can hear soft "squeak" sounds coming from her and it's not the speaking end LOL

I had in my mind that she was probably having a bit of constipation. Now I remember about twitching & MBD.

Has anyone personal experience with the twitching that is related to MBD? All things considered she shouldn't have this problem. Food/lights/temp/real sun all a-okay. I just want to be sure and cover all the bases. I always thought for some reason that those associated with MBD were more like seizures (like humans have). My brother has these and Lightning comes nowhere close to his "twitching."

Going to bed now....1 a.m. Hopefully in the later a.m. some one will be able to put my mind to rest on this. Thanks in advance....those who've known me a while know that when I worry....I WORRY
