He may look fine, but is his husbandry set up correctly? They roam and "race around" when they are stressed or hungry. It's not normal for a ball to be acting that way...What's your set up like?

LGray is right. Normally if a Bp is cruising around its enclosure it is stressed. Night is the exception.

What kind of setup do you have? What are the temps like? Has he been eating consistently? My balls all peek out of their hides when I walk by, but they very rarely roam, especially during the day. I would say there is probably something wrong that is making him uncomfortable.

mine only did that the first couple weeks we had her and when the weather started changing but now that shes settled in and we have our thermostat settings figured out she hides most of the time until feeding day comes around then she hides where I tend to drop the mouse.
