Helloooo!
Noticed today that my Nosy Be had a shot at the glass at the front of his viv.... Thought nothing of it, but he did it again later on in the day!?
He seems very healthy, eating (although, he has his moments), drinking and pooing... Was just wondering if anyone had experienced this before, or had any idea as to what his game is!?
Thanks guys
Harry |

Hiya,
Was there any water on the glass?
As my panther shoots at the glass to get water dripping down it sometimes.
Hope this helps!  |

My Yemen sits on the windowsill and occasionally strikes at birds he sees, or at drops of water running down glass - dumbass!  He doesn't really get glass, too much for his little brain to comprehend. |

here's a pic of him about to do it... was trying to get a vid, but in the rush took a picture...
Silly bugger...
Do you think he might be seeing the reflection of the locust? |

If you triangulate where he is looking toward in the glass and how it would reflect back into the cage, you'll notice a nice big grasshopper sitting there. He sees the grasshopper in the reflection and is taking aim at it in the glass. This can be very damaging as it can cause trauma to the tongue from the sudden impact to the glass at a closer distance then he has aimed for.

i agree.... But he has done it in the past before there are any feeders in there...
Just so happened to be something in there at the time of this shot...
Maybe i will cut down on cleaning the glass in future...
Thanks guys |
