He is 18 months old and I only got him about 3 weeks ago.
He was housed with his partner in a 100gal flex.
I have since put him in a 175 gal flex. to which I think he is sad.
today he started moping around the enclousure and was really feeling sorry for himself.. to the point he wanted me to get him out!! (that was a first)
He has been in his new home for about 2 weeks now. He is moping around and the vet says he looks really good, no parasites nothing healthwise to worry about.
Has anyone else had a yemen "Mope"?
He is currently shedding and I was wondering if this was affecting his mood so much?
mope = walking slowly around his enclousure. Keeping his head down and not lifting it for a good look around. Not darkening when I open the enclosure to show me it is "his home". He actually grabbed my hand to walk on it so I would get him out for a while today. (which was kool but unlike him)
