I haven't taken Lulu out for a while since I was away on a trip and was too busy several days before then to do it. I gave her a couple of crickets today, which she attacked with a vengeance. This evening after cleaning up the cage I stroked her with a paintbrush hoping she'd be up for some friendly interaction, but instead she gave me a rather unpleasant surprise by lunging at the brush and raising her forelegs in the air. In other words, "Back off!" Maybe it was because she hadn't been touched in awhile, or because she had just eaten a few hours ago?
She's been a bit skittish since her June molt but this defensive behavior is totally out of the ordinary for her...usually she is very docile and obliging. I'm just wondering, is it just a mood swing that she will snap out of, or could she be undergoing a complete attitude change? I've heard of Ts' personalities changing after a molt. I know I can't get an exact answer but any input helps. Thanks!
