I have came home from work tonight and have done my usual thing which is coming in through the door and straight over to Vinny to let her out of her cage.

Her behaviour is very strange compared to what it usually is and i know the older they get when they are babies they can go into adolescence but she is only 6 months old.

I lifted her out of her cage and she repeatedly started to try and bite my face. She did grab my nose which gave off a lot of pressure but i can handle it.

She is also quaking a lot. When i lift her she quakes..when i look over at her she quakes....when i talk to her she quakes. I know quaking is normal but she has never really been one to do it since i brought her home a couple of months ago.

She also is dive bombing my head and flying head first into the front and back of my head which when you are not expecting it startles both me and her.

She also is being really fidgety lately. I have changed her seed and i am not sure if that has changed anything...? She is currently on Roudybush and a no peanut/no sunflower seed mix which she get mixed into it as i am in the process of changing her over.

Roudybush can go rancid. Smell and look at, aldo peanuts is one of the main ingredients in that pellet. Though plenty of people like this pellet, I don't, as my first bag spoiled......

In my house during breeding season there can be flying st face when I first open cage door..

My new baby quakes.. my old female will quake briefly if im giving her a lovey dovey baby talk , and she us over 8 years..

I always say check their weight, look at poops, and change of behavior can signals something is wrong. Im not sure exactly what's up..

And you do feed veggies right!? :)

Hi, yea i do feed veggies. I feed chop which consists of well a whole lot of different things lol. Too long to list but usually things like broccoli, chillis, radish, corn, peppers, apple, chard, spring greens, kale etc lol

Yea im really not sure whats up with her....i only got the bag of roudybush 3 weeks ago so should be fine whoever i will check the bag and give it a sniff lol.

She had a check up at the vet 2 days ago and everything came back all clear. Weight was also fine too as she is always eating. Her poops are also normal. If she keeps doing the same behaviour then i will take her to the vet again but maybe she is just being a weird baby quaker and i am being overly paranoid.....which wouldn't be like me lol

Also how would you know the roudybush would be off? Also what pellets do you advise as i have tried tops and she literally flung it at me...also cant use zupreme as it is not allowed to come into the UK soo due to some ingredient that is in the bags .

Well my Penny is in huff after anything, so a vet visit would have her in a bad mood for week after! So bribe, tell her poor baby..

Molt I like giving a little more protein, some boiled or scrambled egg, a strip of well ciojed chicken.

I like oven baked bites , nit sure if yiu can get..
Roudybudh pellets look at tge color, are some dark and oily, or spotted, abd heck I taste my pellets , when I try a new brand.

Glad to hear all the good veg!
