over active hingeback

Posted by Wendy on September 04, 2000 at 01:05:15:

My Bell's Hingeback is driving me crazy. Whenever I'm not in the room he crawls all over his enclosure, like he is trying to escape. He claws at the glass and climbs the walls. Iu had to remove his wooden branch because he kept knocking it over and climbing on it until he would flip over. The moment I come into the room he stops. We recently went to the vet because I noticed he had sores on either side of his head, behind his ears where his neck folds start. He rubs at them with his arms. I got medicine for that. Plus he had some parasites in his poop too. Treating that as well. I had noticed that he is releiving himself sexually in his water bowl too. His my tort just horney? Is it time to find him girlfriend? Would he calm down if he wasn't alone. I've had him over 2 years and this behavior just started a month ago. Please help us.
