Obsessive Pacing
Ever since I got JJ, she's been exhibiting weird pacing-like behavior. She will run in a straight line back and forth, sometimes for hours. I assumed she wasn't getting enough out of cage play time, so I let her free range around my room for an hour at a time, some times up to five hours of play time in one day - she still paces obsessively.
I tried putting objects in her "path" to break up the behavior, but she will go over or around the object and make a new "path." She has run furrows into her bedding everyday.
According to the vet, there is nothing physically wrong with her; I'm worried it might be a neurological problem - I heard pacing can be a sign of something? If anyone with more experience could give me some ideas, I'd be truly grateful.
