Default Lets Try Again!

Ok, so since no-one answered my last thread, i thought it was pointless writing in there.
i was asking about why my vittikins was acting so stressed. Its now starting to REALLY worry my. she's constantly going back and forth but shes rubbed the front of her face down flat and its now going down to her chin. im worried shes gonna get really damaged.
if i cant sort it out i think she'd be better in another home cos i cant sit and watch her like that but dont know how to stop it.
as i said in the other thread, nothing has changed in her viv or anything else.

shes always done it to a certain extent, but now its all day every day, even when i put her light off at night she still does it and her face is getting a lot worse. its like shes really stressed but its only been the last week or so.

I agree, a pic would be good.

How often do you take her out? It may be she just wants to come out and have a good explore.

well she's doing it at the back of the viv, so not even facing us. She used to get out every day for as long as i could have her out but ive got less and less time so i thought it could be boredom. would getting another one to keep her company help or make things worse?
ill try and get a pic but dont have a cam. She's rubbed the front of her nose and chin flat and is now rubbing underneath her chin. (she looks up when shes pacing)

this is the best one i could find. at the very front of her face you can see where she's been rubbing. its worse than this now though and gouse inder her chin too now.

oh my male beardie does that at the back of the viv, he also tries to jump it as well, i think its perfectly normal, or she may be bored, i know mine are probably bored but iva had to reduce the handling to a minimum at the moment.

well she was ok there, thats what im saying, its worse now.
nevermind, ill just wait and see if she stops it, she just seems stressed to me. doesnt seem nice that shes constantly pacing, makes it seem like she stir crazy but i must just be being a bit paranoid.
