Greetings from funkycow, jkingler's other half.
Yesterday, we removed and replaced Deedle's coir, since he was overdue.
Tonight we got home after the usual tort bedtime, and our baby Deeds was already burrowed - but I decided that the enclosure looked a bit parched and thought hey, why not mist him.
After his spritzing, he woke up, wandered off towards his food area, and I tried hand feed him but...he was ornery! He was more interested in head butting and trying to bite my fingers.
It is definitely butting, as it happened half a dozen times. Even when I would put my fingers off on the other side of his enclosure, when he noticed them he would march over, ascertain that there were indeed fingers there, and after a moment of pondering, RAM! RAM! RAM!
Is this something to be concerned about? Is he stressed and trying to assert dominance in his enclosure/Deedadu?
