Female Ratty with ADHD

[Shelbie]

Hi all, just checking in about one of my girlies.
I swear to god she must have ADHD lol she is so hyper active and extremely mischievous.. her head seems to be all over the place. She can’t be still at all when she’s out, the only thing that concerns me a little is although she doesn’t bite she whips her head round quickly as if she’s going to, I’m hoping she calms a little when she gets a bit older lol her and her sister are 7 months old

It sounds like your girl has developed inner ear infection with manic phase behavior. I'll post a video of Abbie to compare to

This indeed sounds like our Ciske as well when she got her inner ear infection. I think take her to a vet to see if she needs antibiotics and painkillers as well. Inner ear infection can get pretty bad pretty fast. Also make sure that her cage is suited for her because she might have trouble climbing and estimating distances. We always have a lot of hammocks everywhere so that if she falls, she lands softly.
