Default Rolling around like a dog?

I assume this is nothing to be concerned about and I hope Im right, but Wicket likes to pick a corner of his cage, move the bedding away from it and roll around on his back and rub off the corner of the cage, rolling around in his bedding. Is he just being playful? having a scratch? xx
