Q & A / Retardation or blindness?
« on: May 13, 2012, 08:45:59 PM »
I've had Wookie for over a month now and she is very sweet, and entertaining, but I'm concerned that she is an idiot. She may be only 6 months old or so. She runs into things all the time, or misses her target when jumping from one place to the next, and it scares her. She usually does this, runs to her cage, and carefully comes back out to repeat the same mistakes... she has run into a pole, my knee, my hand, the side of her cage, walls, and other objects... and she has fallen from the toilet seat, the top of her cage, my desk, my piano, my computer, and my computer chair... she's a total spaz and it's funny to watch but I'm still a little worried. Sometimes when I pet her she acts like she didn't see it coming and she is surprised by my touch... this is why I thought she might actually have some blindness, or maybe very poor depth perception. Is any of this normal chin behavior? She has been this way since I've had her.
She seems to be improving on particular maneuvers that she has done a few times... is it possible she is just young and not well coordinated yet?
