Hi, my Rosy is exhibiting some strange behavior today. He's very jumpy and won't let me touch his head anymore, which he normally doesn't have a problem with. When I touch his head, he jumps, and eventually curls into a tight ball. He's never done this before, as usually he is very mellow. He seems to be very sensitive with the top 1/3rd of his body now.

He had just ate 3 days ago, and shed yesterday. It has also been pretty hot the past couple days. He is about 1.5 years old. It's kind of like he's scared and recognize me anymore.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
