Re: Strange pose when stroked
It is the posture a female adopts when she is in season and ready to mate. It is called standing. Female syrians come in to heat every 4th night and it is a protective mechanism for the males to allow mating. Usually they would fight on meeting but the stand and trance like status allows mating to occur. Some females will adopt the stand by any pressure on the back or a stoke when in heat. You may smell a musky smell from her too!
