Okay...my boxie, Spike, seems to have big mood swings throughout the year. He didn't go in his cave or burrow for literally 3 or 4 months (which I also thought was weird) and for the past few weeks it has become a regular thing, along with some afternoon napping. In the winter, maybe I'd expect more regular burrowing behavior - but is it strange in the summer? He is in an indoor enclosure, so it's not like he is trying to escape the afternoon sun. (Except for when he's outside - then he just darts under a bush to escape me).
Nothing has changed in terms of enclosure, UVB, heat, diet, etc. Spike still has a ridiculously large appetite and is even eating more veggies than ever before! He just seems scared of me all a sudden and a little slowed down. I remember that this has happened before...I should keep a mood diary.
Eyes are bright and alert, has not lost weight, pink mouth/tongue, looks overall very healthy. Any ideas? Should he go to a vet or am I crazy?
I may be a helicopter parent.
