Female panther Ground walking

[Redlegtu]

outside of having to lay eggs, is there a reason why a female panther would want/need to roam the floor of enclousure?

Female panther is NOT gravid. All her other behavior (feeding/drinking) and outward appearance is of a healthy female.

I am puzzled by this wandering walking behavior. She would go t to the bottom of the enclosure....walk a few laps as if looking for something and then she would climb right back up to the branches and vines

She is just bored and adventuring. As soon as I made a free range for Buddy, he stopped doing it as much.

I hAve videos of him just circling the bottom cage. He drags his nose along the bottom too as he walks. Then he goes back up. But I only saw him do it once this week.
