Okay I know this sounds ridiculous but I’m actually getting kind of worried about him continuously trying to mate with my hand. He only does it when I let him play on top of his cage, but he has always played on top of his cage and never done that. Is it possible it’s just because he’s getting more hours of daylight? Can that ever be a sign of something wrong?
Again I know it sounds weird to think that means he’s sick but I have anxiety and pick up on anything out of the ordinary, good or bad. One time when he was feeling pretty good and had a lot of energy I even got scared it meant he was dying because sometimes animals seem magically better days before they die. He has been playing less and acting more tired which usually only happens when he’s molting but he’s not molting. He also has been eating less again, but usually that’s because his chronic giardia is flaring up so I can try to treat him again.
Sorry I know I probably sound crazy with the things I worry about. I’m just under a lot of stress right now so it’s hard for me to know what’s rational and what’s not when it comes to my anxiety. Moving was really scary because I didn’t know if he would survive the stress.
