Just had a thought - is she marking the playpen with her scent?
When I temporarily put her back in her cage so I could make the above post, she stopped acting like that. Now i've put her back into the playpen, she's started up again..
Lil does looks to be scent marking her playpen. Is her playpen new?
My Pumpkin does the same when she in her playpen especially if she hasn't been in her playpen for a while and she did it a lot when she first went in her playpen too!
It sounds like it is, they can be so funny when it comes to their stuff. It's rather sweet.

That's scent marking right there Most likely, the itching has nothing to do with the scent marking so no need to worry. Lil is looking as adorable as ever!
This is a bit late, but yes, she is scent marking as you already figured out! It's so funny to watch them doing it that video was really sweet to watch. She was basically saying "MINE! IT'S AAALLLL MINE!".
I'm glad you posted this Beth. When I watched it I was alarmed, only having dwarf hams and never having owned a Syrian I've never seen a Syrian scent marking before. It looked like she was ill to me so I'm glad it is only scent marking and I know what it looks like when a Syrian is doing it
