curiosity or something wrong?

[Neeko]

lately my female extreme baby has been jumping around in her cage trying to escape i assume. Humidity and temps are all on point, eating turkey as a main staple. Is she curious, do they just try and escape all the time? He cage is about the size of a 40 breeder

She might want more space, let her roam around in a tegu safe room for a while I can't stress "tegu safe" enough lol I let mine out and she let's me know when she wants back in the enclosure

bathroom is only tegu safe room but its cold and i dont want her to freeze. Im glad you found your "guy" too bad about the furniture...

It's very possible she simply isn't satisified with the small amount of space she has access too... I put my hatchling into a 4' x 2' as soon as I got him and he did great. I don't think a 40 breeder is big enough for a hatchling...

I'll have to make a bigger cage then. =D

I could care less about the furniture, she ran into it and it was like "you wanna play this game" lol she was so mean trying to catch her again she opened her mouth mostly cause I had to manhandle her there was no choice she was all better this morning though still a bit skittish, I'm sure your little one is okay an active tegu is a healthy tegu

my male does fine, he is pretty chill. the female is more skittish and they both always run up my arm and sit behind me neck.

That's cute, if I'm not paying attention mine will crawl up the back of my shirt, its really hard to stay still

i just wana point this out tegus arnt tropical believe or not they handle the cold better than heat like if you're cage was 90 all the time he/she would die but point is they handle cold better than heat thats what bobby hill told me when i was talking to him about temps

o and my gu jumps on the side when hes hungry he like jumps up the wall

Mine is in an 8x4 enclosure and still did the same thing, it seems like she was just confused by her new habitat more than anything.. but she got out for a couple of days and now she never tries to get out even when the door is sitting open haha

its like 68-70 coldest part of the house, the tile floors and tile/porcine might be the case not sure.
