So my little guy is 1.5 years now. He’s alittle over 500 grams. We got off to a slow start but he is gaining and starting to really eat a lot!
He started about a month or two ago this behavior of moving quickly at us when we go in his enclosure in the morning to feed him. I can’t really call it ramming because he doesn’t get that close. I’m assuming he’s being dominant when he’s in his enclosure because he gets a lot of free time on the patio and he doesn’t do it any other time.
He shows no other odd behavior really. I hand feed him daily and supervise his outdoor time and soak daily. So he is very used to being handled and responds to my voice. So, my question is whatanything, should I do when he does this?
I usually just reach over and pet his shell and kinda ignore it or just put his food down and move away if I’m in a hurry. ??♀️
Thanks in advance!
