This could end up to be long, so get acup of coffee or tea
Once my little dinosaur and little daughter
would roam my house. Daughter on her own two
feet and Andre' on her head. But as thing happen
they've both grown up and now I have a rather
large and not too social dinosaur. The thing
is I'm trying to socialize her again. I can
hand feed her highness and change her poo water
with no prob, she allows this, but if I try
to touch her, she becomes large and sometimes
will try to whip me (very painful) I've been
spending a lot of time with one arm stuck in
her cage near her to get her used to me with no
food or clean water to offer. If she doesn't whip I give her a treat, if she does, she gets nothing (other than having to put up with my arm even
longer) This is in addiion to her normal meals,
I'm not try to starve her. Right now she's shedding and grumpy and I think it's almost egg laying time ( she's layed for the past 3 yrs).
Soon she will need a larger cage and my goal is to try to transfer her with a minimum of bloodshed (mine). ANY suggestions would be a
huge help.
