hey guys,

yesterday my male rhino has an exploring day i guess you could call it that , he and his mate roam my pool deck temp. till i finsh there cage and yesterday he wanted to go in the house , so i kept putting him back out side and time after time he came back in the house , so i put up a two foot pice of wood and he climbed over it an then i tried a 3 foot piece and he finally jumped and pulled himself over into the house, so i put him out again, he was darn determined to stay in the house, so when i put him out i stayed out with him for a few mins. and then he looked at me and came towards me and them climbed up my leg and wrapped his arms around my leg and did the same with his head like he was gonna bite me(the rhino hug) and stayed like that for about a mins.

now is this like mating behavior should i be worried about him doing that ? and why would he want to go in my house, he's been in every room before, and he always tends to end up where i used to keep a younger rhino in my room? could this be why ? and he often will go to sleep in that area where i kept the younger rhino if he gets in undetected?!

i dont mind him in the house but he just poops in every room he goes in, an after the first quart of liquid in one room gets kinda gross when you find it in another room ...and another and the cats licking it ..lol

Mike
