We've had our long haired syrian Hamilton for about a month and a half and it's been about standard, until recently we've noticed he's been just lying in various spots of his cage for long amounts of time looking like he's napping. He has tons to do in his cage, but chooses to mostly use the wheel and his food bowl, and will run for hours straight and then lie down. Is he napping from the running, or comfortable in his new house enough to lie in the open, or is this something more concerning?
He's been obsessed with climbing his bars and had a few falls but has seemed ok after them, and I've since put shelves up around the bits he used to climb, so he hasn't been climbing so much. Could this behaviour be because of newness in his cage also? I'm so paranoid I'm not doing something right!
