That is great news - sounds like they have not been cleaned for a while to be honest to get such a strong reaction from your new little one. Do they have a sand bath? If not I would really recommend it as a priority purchase
By putting the dad in first he will also have laid his scent down on the tank first. Your little one is getting mature and wants to make his mark on his environment too, hence the frantic running around jumping on and off things such as the wheel. He doesn't know where to go first and looks a bit manic for a while.
