Hi everyone so I have a question here because I can't find a probable reason for his behaviour. I have a nosybe which I aqquired approximately 2 months ago and he spends most of his time walking on the cage floor and occasionally clawing at the cage. He eats well drinks well and has proper lighting, he even has about 1/3 the cage in natural sunlight so I highly doubt it has anything to do with husbandry, he walks around constantly and doesn't show any signs of sickness-no sleeping/not lethargic etc. so if anyone had any insight I would gladly like to hear about it. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

You seem adamant that it's nothing to do with husbandry but if he's constantly on the cage floor then it's not normal.
