Oakley is about to be five months old, and BOY is she getting into everything! She's my little female polish dwarf that I got a few months ago, and she is SO curious and SO hyper! I moved back in with my parents for the summer, to take some summer classes in my home town, and I was afraid she'd be a little stressed out, like she was when I brought her home to visit with me for Easter weekend. Instead, she's literally bounding around our (bunny proofed) spare bedroom.
However, as happy as she seems right now with this new room all to herself (I have two male chinchillas that she treats like they're sooo below her) she's even acting a little different with me lately. For a while there, I could get her out of her cage and she would sit with me on my bed, happy as a lark while I watched TV or did my homework. She'd sit on my lap and let me stroke the top of her head for hours if I wanted to. But now, she will sit on my lap for about 15 minutes tops before she wants to start digging on me! She starts digging, and trying to pull at my clothes with her teeth. Which, when I'm wearing sleeping pants and a tshirt, her little teeth can PINCH. Is this a normal behavior?
Also, she thumps ALL THE TIME. Even when she seems perfectly happy! She'll thump, then run around and "happy dance" all over the place right after.
She also head butts. A lot. Haha. This is more funny than anything else to me, just because usually she's head butting my phone out of my hands when she wants my attention. Or will head butt my legs to get my attention.
Are these normal? Or is it something I should be looking out for?
