Falling over while anointing

[Shimmer]

Abbie got really into self-anointing last night and she twisted so much she fell over a few times. I've seen her lose her balance a bit while anointing before but never topple over before. Should I be worried about her falling over or is it normal?

lol, i think it's normal, and QUITE the sight! Monty was annointing like crazy when I gave him CSFTCLS the first time, falling over in his cage, it was hilarious!...just enjoy the moment!

Quite normal :)

Yes it's very common and if they are sitting on you I hope you realize that you are supposed to put your hand behind them so they don't fall over. :laugh: At least that is what mine expect.

Here's some of my gang annointing. Snow is laying on her back annoiting after tasting baby Kei. :)

lol... I'm glad it's nothing to worry about! They sure look funny when they do it :). I'll just sit back and enjoy the show next time :laugh: .

Not a problem. Just sit back, relax, and try not to pee your pants! :rofl:

We see it a lot, particularly with young hedgehogs getting excited about tasting something new.
