Change in my corns behaviour

Oh, here's my list of previous pets::(R.I.P)
2.1 Dogs, 0.1 gineau pig (R.I.P), 1.0 Green Tree Frog (R.I.P), 2.2 cats, 1.0 Corn (for a short while [was keeping it for an member of my family who had to go to Iraq) (R.I.P), a few other things as well, but can't remember them , (Probably R.I.P)considering I had them when I was 3 or 4.

So, my vet comment standed with all of them. That was how it was when I grew up. My father did not have a computer to go on and look up this stuff, so if an animal was sick we had to take it to the vet (especially the dogs!). I have never, in all my times of going there, had one problem, or had a time where the vet had no clue what's going on with a pet.

I have always been around animals, I even lived directly next to several amish farms, so the first thing when I woke up was smelling cow manure, hearing a MOO!, or something along the lines of that.

Your absolutley right. And yes, no matter how much people go busting my (insert noun body part expletive here), I still can give some basic advice. I'm not here to give advice, I'm here to learn. And if some big breeder person wants to come along and say that I'm full of (insert expletive here), then that's all good. That's how I learn. It's the same in life for me. Normally I say something, and it may be 100% right or someone may tell me that I screwed something up and that I was wrong.

If you are here to learn, then read more and post less!

If you read a thread and feel you have questions about the subject, then go start your own thread and ask those questions. Do not post information in other peoples threads, if you don't know whether it is completely accurate or not.

You will get more respect from the other members here, if you ask your own questions and learn from the answers given, than by posting inaccurate answers to other peoples questions.

P.S. You may not be aware but, one of the rules of this site is that implied profanity can get you banned, so when you post "(insert expletive here)" that can be inferred as implied profanity, just be careful!

Here's the problem with your view on this. What if a more experienced keeper/breeder DOESN'T see a thread where you give out advice on something you're not qualified to speak to, and they DON'T correct you? You may end up giving potentially deadly advice, and the OP may assume that you know what you're talking about and FOLLOW your advice. Isn't it easier and safer to just remain silent on subjects about which you have little or no personal experience? I think you mean well, so how are you going to feel when your bad advice yields disastrous results? I don't recommend that you jeopardize the health and lives of other peoples' animals as part of your learning process. Doesn't that make sense?
 
I doubt that I've said anything that could yield "disastrous results", but i'll be a little more careful about what I say. Although I believe we have misused this thread enough, what does the orange part of you sig mean?

Maybe nothing you've posted YET could yield disastrous results-- I'm just trying to make you aware of the possiblities before you go too far. The least you could do is preface unqualified statements with something like: "I have no personal experience with this, but I would think..." But really, there are enough experienced people here to answer questions until you've gained the requisite experience yourself.

The orange text in my sig is an excerpt from Jethro Tull's "Too Old to Rock and Roll". It's part of the description of Ray (the old rocker), the subject of the song. :)
 
Here are some measurments and pics of my corn (Ludo) she has 100mm girth and her last shed (25 Jan) she was 1 meter 22

Of course, and that's why I'm trying to watch what I'm posting.
 
Not sure if this is still relevent but my female has been like this around this time for the past two years..and she's only 2 and a half now (so it started at the age of 1 1/2). My sister has her at the moment (as I'm at uni and can't have my animals) and I've been bombarded with phone calls from her saying how active Spice is. She's been jumpy and out a lot, very very active even during the day. She's also not been eating as well. She's always been a fantastic eater..but now will only take 1 out of her two mice (if that) and only if shes left alone in a dark room in her feeding box for half an hour or so. Sometimes she won't eat at all.

Anyway, once you get all the feeding and everything sorted (you've got help beyond me posting on this thread so I'll leave it be) if she's still acting the same this post might help.
 
Hi lyndy just how mine is acting at the moment thanks for the info worth bearing in mind as yours was about the same age.

And what use is that info to the original poster?

hosgal, your girl looks to be a pretty big girl, just going by the pics you posted. At that size it is possible that she may be ovulating as she looks plenty plump enough.

I have a female here that is quite picky about her food around the time of ovulation, but she starts eating properly again within a week or two. See how your girl goes, it may be ovulation or it may be that she's reached her almost adult size and just needs to slow down on her food consumption.

I agree with other posters that she has been fed a bit too much but, if you now just feed her one adult mouse per week and keep giving her exercise then her weight gain should slow down considerably, 500g is quite large for a 16 month old.

Hope that helps, good luck and best wishes,
 
Mine is 22g, 3 months old, and is presumed female, though not probed (yet, who know if I'm going to bother).
