Mine were that way when they were juvies . I couldn't hardly make a move around the tank without them trying to jump out! Fortunately as they've aged they have mellowed out a lot. Now a year later they are as personable as any wetpet. They just need some time.joedodge;2664704; said:thankyou very much. Mine must be the shy type lol, i appreciate everyones replys. Mine are fine if i walk in and there out and about but when they hide they hide they wont even want food
