The rosehair that we acquired from the neighbor is being weird.
If you recall, when it came here it only had a dusting of substrate and no water in its dish; I built the substrate up so that it was close to the top of the container, gave it a half a coconut shell to hide in, and gave it water.
Well, all has been fine, it has been eating great...not exhibited any of those typical rosehair behaviors..until now.
Now, it has taken to hanging on the roof of the critterkeeper..upside down, continuously. As in, for the past four days.
The people who had it before took it out all the time, held it while watching tv, etc. I have not taken it out or held it. I highly doubt that a t has that kind of social adaptability to "miss" coming out..but I wonder if it just "knows" that there is a world on the outside of that keeper and wants to escape.
Considering that the substrate is dry, water is available, and it isnt freezing, cooking, or hungry, should I just not worry about it?
