Aggressive pacman

[DVirginiana]

Normal behavior for a pac. Do you have plenty of hiding places for her in the cage? You could also cover three sides of the cage with a solid background of some sort. If she has hiding spots and can't see too much of what's going on in the room around her she'll probably stop lunging at the glass when people walk by. Some of them are always aggressive when there's food near.

I don't really have a hiding spot for her. My tomatoes have a artificial medium sized turtle shell and a coconut hut. Trying to find something big enough for her to hide in. And yes, I use 12" long plastic tipped tongs for feeding her worms The lunge against the glass was like a Saturday morning cartoon haha but I felt bad at the time. Thanks for the tips!

I recently picked up a tri-color fantasy about a week or two ago from an expo and he's got a voracious appetite himself Even though he's a little guy and should be fed every day he does the same thing, lunges at anything he particularly see's as "food." I can only assume that the way the breeder fed these little guys is what's responsible for the more aggressive nature. Much like yours he's also highly aware of his surroundings, including what's outside his carrier. I've placed my container of worms right next to his carrier and he was so eager, jumping at the side of his carrier trying to get closer to the worms outside.

My green cranwelli is so much more docile in terms of being hyper lazy. I have to practically bounce worms into her mouth for her to eat if she doesn't try to drag food back towards her hole.

As for the little guy, I actually accidentally banged him against the side of his small carrier out of surprise because he lunged and latched onto the actual tong instead of the worm I had gripped >_<. He still attacks the tongs but he responds to worms moving in front of his face as well, well. Floating in front of his face as I hold them. Still in the process of training him to grapple the food rather than me just having to drop it in front of him.

I can say that I do appreciate having a pacmans with polar opposite personalities.

I wouldn't use gardening gloves. Nothing cloth or leather should be used to handle them. Clean washed hands or rubber gloves no other material.
