    What the heck is he doing?!

    My pastel male does this every now and then but it seems to be becoming more frequent. Any ideas on what it is?

    Sorry about the noise and the quality of the clip and the fact that its sideways, I don't have an editing program. None of my other BPs do this either, just him.

    And he will do that over and over by the way, the upside down on the ceiling thing.

    thats normal behavior. They always do that to explore and look for way out.

    Some of my bp's do it; there always seems to be a guarantee they will do it if I'm a day late on feeding (doesn't happen often anymore but I used to buy Petco mice and they didn't always have them...ugh), if I have one or more out at a time nearby each other, or if there's food in the room.
    Normal behavior though, as long as you double check temps and feeding size/frequency.
    (one of my males used to actually knock everything in his tank over trying to get out, and then get on top of a flower pot rolled on its side, upside down pushing on the lid, and he'd fall backwards and make a nice crash into his water bowl. Not fun at 3:00 am) lol
