Cage Info:
Current Situation:
yesterday 12/20/16 she was very moody, staying puffed up and trying her hardest to get away from me, she was showing her markings and staying very dark. Today she has been hissing, once in her cage when i opened it and then continuously while she was on hand/arm. i fed her and she still continued. the hissing is brand new. and i don't want to make her uncomfortable, but i also don't want her attitude to become permanent.
Any advice would be wonderful! thank you in advance!
