Hmm...Darwin....

Tonight I heard a little bit of squeaking coming from Darwins cage which never happens then it turned to the clicking. I lifted up his flying saucer and he was still doing it. I would have presumed this to be normal, however very occassionally there tended to be like a spasm type movement as well - think it may have been his left. I'm monitoring him very very closely at the moment as since he's actually been out of the cage he's not done it again. He actually hopped out of his duna and proceeded to run around the room with me chasing him. I've just had him running around on me as well and it seems quite content.

I'm considering cleaning him out now (as he's due) just in case theres something in the environment.

Also when I lifted his flying saucer out, the little menace has been nibbling the underneath of the base - maybe his squeaking was to do with his happiness?

Any thoughts?

He did it once again tonight. The only thing I can closely describe it is a twitch to his left. Its like he twitches and his head jerks to the left.The times i've noticed it is shortly after he has just woken up. Apart from that he is running around doing hamstery stuff and he took the sunflower seeds I strategically left him last night.

Maisie does this too, sometimes when shes in her ball or just randomly when shes running about her cage, its like shes had a cold shiver then runs round like a lunatic again, she seems to be fine hope darwin is ok, oh btw I adore his name

I'm watching him like a hawk which includes waking him up. He didn't look too pleased tonight and sat in the sandbath giving me evils for about 5 mins.
