Hello all! I have an adult female bold jumper and noticed its movement today was slow and almost shaky-looking. Saw her fall this morning as well. I don't see any sign of injury. She's very active but just walks with a stutter (almost like lagging fps in a video game). I have a video....might be hard to tell with frame rate and all...


Enclosure is maybe a week old. Has explored extensively and has eaten twice. Fed last maybe 2 days ago. I keep the walls of the enclosure moist. Just built a hammock a day ago.

Thinking maybe dehydration...or the other d word...I don't handle her though. She's been transfered once and the only thing that goes in and out is a peanut can lid with a meal worm and maybe a pair of tweezers to get carcasses out. This has only started happening today that I've noticed.
