Red Tail and nose rubbing.

athos_76 Nov 14, 2004 11:02 AM

Ever since I put my RTB in her new 75 gallon cage, she has been constantly pushing at the top of her cage. Not all the time, but at nite when she is most active. I put a piece of plexi over half her cage to help stop the damage, but now I'm not sure what to do. Is it nose rubbing or stargazing?
Can someone tell me the symptoms to stargazing?
