Mites??

[6ftPython]

Morning all, just a quick question.

Reciently i got a new Bredli, i gave her the 1st wk to settle in, the the 2nd wk cause she was shedding. I pulled her out yesterday and she is RATHER snappy.

So i thought i'd feed her and she ate, but afterwards she went and sat in her water bowl, now i have read some previous posts, and know that they do that sometimes when they have mites.

However i haven't seen her doing it before, is this a common thing after feeding??

Any help would be great.

Cheers

My diamond often likes to sit in his waterbowl after feeding. Especially when he was younger he did it after every feed.

My coastal who will be 2 yrs in NOV 06 occasionally likes to sit in his water bowl after a feed, no mites on him, not just my opinion, he has had a recent vet check as well and was deemed in excellent health and parasite free.
He is also very snappy, hence the vet check to make sure it was just a "personality" thing and he wasn't in any discomfort (ie; parasites, illness, over / under fed etc.)

hope this helps

occasionally my coastal girl will go have a soak after she has fed. At first i was worried she might have mites but i check her out all the time and she's mite free, just likes a bath every now and then.

Excellant, thanks very much for the advice, i'm glad it's nothing bad, but a little down, cause it means that she is just a snappy little ****.

cheers
