my rhino's strange behavior

spotsowner Dec 01, 2007 01:19 AM

Buddy has lived with me 2 years, he is 3. He spends most of his days out of his cage. He is healthy and very friendly. He is acting strange the last 3 days. He will sometimes start looking around the room like he is seeing a ghost. His eyes will quickly dart and head gets jittery like he is on speed and start looking all around and then he will just start running
in a scared manor. This behavior will just come out of nowhere. He is usually very laid back and this is
unlike him. It has happened a couple of times. I am hoping one somebody here has an idea what is causing him to act this way.
Thanks, Dave

Do you have a bird or stuffed animals where he can see them, that is what some of my animals do when they see a threat such as a bird or a dog.KB

first of all congrats for such a nice pet, then I tell you that I have the same prob with a female of mine. I got 2.2 1 year old rhino in a cage, and sometime one of the female cats like yours.
Cheers
Steno
