Default Hissing While Striking

My Amel Corn has started to hiss as she strikes for the Fuzzie, I though she did it last week on her first of the two, but this week I was listening out for it, and she does, as she lunges forward she gives out a definite hiss.

Never noticed before last week, may be she has done it before, but when she was smaller it was not noticeable.

Anyone else's corn hiss while striking its prey?

I fed my classic at the same time, while he had his second fuzzie halfway down his mouth, I got them amels last one ready as I moved it over him to get to her box he made a lunge for it, even though his mouth was full, he is a greedy boy I tell you


Oh and my royal has taken its second large mouse for me, a week after its first, both on first attempts

One of my corns defence hisses whilst striking at food but doesn't actually take the food . She is slightly bonkers though

Oh and one of the Royals hisses whilst hiding his head, which never fails to amuse me.

He must of made himself at home, whilst he was in his feeding tub, I took the opportunity of snooping around his quarters.

Picked up the large hide in the cool side and found this staring back at me






Though my cat had got in his viv

One of mine hisses as she strikes, and she doesn't take the food either, she tends to hiss and bite it but not take it from the tongs. She's generally very placid though.

My corn hisses everytime he strikes... or is thinking of striking... or thinks you've looked at him funny.

Never heard the royal hiss though, although my girlfriend says he hissed at her once.
