Scratches on my LP's Abdomen

[Kurt Nelson]

There are a few scratches on my LP's abdomen. I tried googling it but I can't find anything other then they scratch to flick hairs! Which I already knew. But these are fresh and I haven't bugged her at all or anything. Any idears?

Can't really give an opinions without a picture bro...what do you mean with scratches?

 

[Kurt Nelson]

Like lines that weren't there before! I'll try to get a picture.

Doesn't look that unusual to me...i woulden't worry...but wait until somebody who are more experience to reply I guess...But I've had T's with similiar "scratches" and they have been fine.

On the bright side! She finally got off the side of the enclosure, explored and found her hide lol. I tried to feed her again today but she just game the cricket a threat pose and let it walk away. So she must be in pre-moult. When does a LP ever turn down food?!

Looks like the start to a bald spot from kicking hairs, to me.

 

[Kurt Nelson]

It was kicking hairs in it's own enclosure at nothing? I haven't bugged it at all. There is no reason it should be kicking hairs. Unless they are falling out in the pre-moult stage.

It could have kicked hairs at her livefood, i've catched my LP doing that.

 

[Kurt Nelson]

Except!!!! There hasn't been any food in her cage for her to flick hairs at.

They flck hairs for many reasons. Lining their retreat, perimetere at the entrance, any disgurbance that makes them feel threatened.
