We think Cindy might be 4 months old now, and she has shown herself to be the dominant one in the young girls cage. She has recently started doing something, and Neal and I are wondering what she is doing.
She will be running around during free-range time, but when she walks over something that is smooth then she scoots her butt on it. We can't figure out why. I said that maybe she is in heat, or is marking her territory. If she walks over something plastic, like a folder (we have their medical papers in plastic sleeves), then she will bat at the plastic while walking on it and scooting her butt.
Anyone have any ideas? Neal said he was wondering if it was worms, but if that was the problem, then the others in the cage would do the butt-scoot thing also. None of the others do this or have ever done it!
