Language!!! hehe.

Well it may be that she is not comfortable with the way you are handling her, or she just may not like to be handled atall.
My two tolerate me holding them but they do not like it. Better in then out!

Its the cucumbers. Cucumbers are practically all water. Need to try and give her some leafy greens, grasses, broadleaf weeds, and lots of cactus.

Yes, I would say you need to get her on a better diet for sure. And my Russian also goes to the bathroom a lot when she is picked up. Thats her way of saying she dont like being picked up. My Sulcata on the other hand likes being picked up, and loves all the attention he can get.
