Is this something they do when they are happy/excited only? Do they ever popcorn out of fear of aggression?
I really don't think my boys are doing it out of aggression but I want to make sure. I open the cage door and they climb on it to come near my face. I go to pet them and they hop away and then run all over the cage and hop around a lot, then run back to me, climb on my shoulder, but the second I get my hands near them again they take off running and hopping then come back, rinse lather repeat. Are they having fun with me or are they scared?
They never really enjoy being picked up or held, they try to escape. But they will climb on me all day if it's their choice.
