Default Stretching?

Mo does this funny little stretch, walk, stretch, walk when he's out in his playpen. At first we thought he was just tired but now I'm wondering if its a sign of marking as he does it lots ? Anyone know ?

I'm not sure. Fudge does a little waddle-walk if she's scent marking when she's out and she rubs her head and sides on things xD
It could well be scent marking

My Syrians seem to do this across their cages when they are first waking up & coming out of their nests, very cute

My Syrian does that too! I never saw my dwarves do this. Baby Joe Frazier stretches both paw and leg at the same time while walking across the cage after her nap. And she yawns like a lion! So cute, give me the giggles every time she does that.

Mine stretches on the wheel is strange to watch kinda funny (she is also in a really small cage)

The yawning in hamsters is so so strange!

My Lucy likes to stretch(out of tiredness).
But that stretch walk can be scenting.
Lucy rolls around to scent.

This is her stretching....

Zoro does this when she has just gotten up, I think it is because she has been sleeping in a curled up position for a while and needs to stretch to get moving again.

My syrian does this as well when he wakes up. He likes to sleep curled up in a ball, on his back in his nest, so I think he needs to stretch out a bit. He stretches one paw forward and yawns as big as a lion
