I have a 7.5' burm who seems intent on finding ways to hurt herself.
She's about two years old and we have tried four different enclosures in that time because every time we try a new enclosure she will be content for a little while and then find a way to hurt herself trying to escape it. Our focus is progrssively becoming a game of trying to figure out how she might hurt herself and stay ahead of her.
95% of the time she is fine, very content to be anywhere, but she will get these moods a couple times a month and during that time will do ANYTHING to get out. It's gotten to the point where we made a simple acrylic cage with all rounded edges (because if she finds a corner anywhere she will push until she cuts herself open on it). During those phases we can't even keep a water bowl in with her without supervision. Still, we keep seeing marks on her. My husband used to let her roam the house when she was smaller and I keep wondering if she ... feels she deserves to be out. I can't think of another way to put it.
Is there anything I can do short of building her a padded room?
