Little question

[shadowkatz]

I've noticed a personality change and am just wondering if this is a normal thing. Merry, my male robo, was very aggressive when I first got him and then that turned into a very bossy and outgoing personality. when I moved something in the cage he would march out like a bull dog to see what I was doing. I got used to his mini bossiness and thought it was very cute, but in this last week his personality has really seemed to change. hes become quite shy and a bit jumpy.
Now don't get me wrong I don't mind the fact hes not as aggressive but at the same time I'm wondering if this big change is something I should keep an eye on.




any to any who know of my other little boy Pipin- hes doing great. hes become so loving and friendly! still a shy little boy but opened up a lot

Am I right in thinking it's only been a few weeks since you separated your boys?
It could be that he's still adjusting to the change, now he's alone he may not feel the need to be aggressive & the jumpiness could still be getting used to his new environment, have you changed anything in his cage recently or done much cleaning, anything you can think of that might have unsettled him a little?

[shadowkatz]

yeah its been about three weeks since then.
I have changed his cage around a little here and there. mostly when i hear about something that they'd really like or just a few days ago i got a much quieter wheel because i couldn't sleep.
other then that ive only done little bits of spot cleaning.



sorry for the late reply (college is kicking my butt this term)

It does sound more of an adjustment thing, just give him more time to settle down & make himself at home, given time & now he has a home to himself & doesn't have to be so protective of his space he should come out of his shell again I would think,

i just wanted to make sure this wasnt something i should worry about
