Reaction to cleaning cage.
So this morning I cleaned Scrub's cage, didn't use any chemicals or anything but when I put her back in she went a bit crzay. Pulled all her bedding out her little house and stuffed it all in her cheeks (they were huge) and kept trying to stuff more in though she couldn't fit anymore in so she ran around with it in her mouth. She then started running around the cage constantly. I left her, thought she might calm down a bit and I came back 10 minutes later to find she had emptied her cheeks and was ripping up newspaper from the base of her cage, dragged up all of the wood shavings and bedding from her cheeks and made a little nest in the corner (usually where she goes to the toilet)
She was awake for quite a few hours afterwards but later on when I got her out she wasn't herself. She is normally running around but she was very slow, very cautious of everything and very jumpy, she did go back to normal after a while though.
Just wondering if anyone has had anything like this happen before or maybe know why she is doing this?
I haven't changed any of the things I use in her cage (wood shavings, bedding, food etc.)
Thanks guys
