No idea about Myachick feeling soft & not having strong ribs, without actually feeling him it's not really possible to comment but it does sound as though he's doing fine.
Chewing bars can be down to a number of reasons, the cage may be too small or lacking in enrichment, it can also be attention seeking behaviour, it is important to try to stop it though as it can lead to damage to teeth & the area around the nose & mouth.
Have a look here for some ideas.
Managing Bar Chewers
The grooming behaviour is totally normal, don't even consider getting them a girlfriend! Breeding is not something to be taken lightly & as you don't know their history or genetics could lead to all sorts of problems for mother & pups. They really don't need a friend at all. |
Hey cypher, thank you for your reply.
Your judgement is pretty precise of the situation. Dumpling did feel bored and wanted to seek for attention. In that case, we connected another cage to his current one. And it works pretty well. I had the same worries that his skin might get scratched by the bar if the bar was not smooth.
Thanks again for your advice, it is really helpful!
