Well firstly, my 3 year old girl "Iggy" (no I didn't name her) has decided to show me lately that she may indeed be a BOY!!! Getting aggressive, and turning a faint shade of orange. Her femoral pores suddenly look male, and there is now the male lump at the base of her tail!!! So there's that, but also Iggy has been very happy with her cage. And very 'routined'. One day when I went to feed her, she dewlapped at me. This kept up for a week, then she started to get that "Come any closer and I'll bite you" look in her eye!! I was devasted. After 2 weeks of this, one day she had a complete SPAZ. I was too afraid to even open the cage to throw food in! I had noticed her scratching a little too. The next day I swear she was thinking, "Let me out mom". So I did. Just for a while. No problems since! So do you think maybe Lizzy has grown that extra inch that makes her feel like she's in jail???? Just a thought .... I mean you know when an Ig gets p*d off, they get really p*d!!!
