    Chicago Eastern Odd Movements

    I am not convinced that she is having seizures but randomly she will start to look like she is moving food through her digestive system. It is a forceful movement an she lays on her side an looks like she is rubbing herself all over the substrate.


    Eating great an no other visual problems


    Anyone have experience with this? Is she marking territory?

    Thanks

    The first thing that comes to mind is mites.

    Treat anyway, that enclosure. That way they are completely ruled out.
    With baby mites being so small it's not worth the possible risk.
    If you treat and the behavior stops you have an answer.
    Just my opinion.

    Kill the little pukes. I hate mites. Glad you found them. Can you take a phone call?
