Male tail waggin?

I introduced my male bino with a female and he went in and started spazin! Waggin his tail and pushing his penes out and urating. The female did the same minus the tail waggin. Is it normal that males tail wag?

No she was pushing out her junk no penes though! LOL

K, well there goes the it's two males & your boy 'bino was NOT happy about it theory.

I've only seen the tail wag once & it was my Albino male. He was upset at the time & there was a nice hiss to go with the wag.

Well that could be half true because before that I had a pastel in with her and he showed no interest so I took him out and put the bino in. Maybe thats why???

You may never know for sure why, it's pretty rare but some BPs will do this.

Both the males and the females seem prone to scenting during the breeding season. They evert their cloaca to expose the scent glands, and wag their tail to spread the scent around. Urates and urine are also often expelled along with all of this activity. It's more common for the female to do this to signal her readiness to breed, but it sounds like your male was just a lot more excited about it than the female, lol. Still, the fact that she responded is a good sign.

The breeding bins can be quite the disaster area afterward.

Oh ok this is my first ever introductions so I am a noob to what they do and how they act. Well besides what I seen on you tube. LOL

hey bry, i had a female that would wag her tail every time i took her out and put her on the floor.... i really dont know why but she stoped doing it at about 8 months or so old.

Yeah they can, the bins are a HUGE mess afterwards.

Well so far since the show of the tail waggin and scenting from the male and the scenting from the female I haven't witnessed any locks. They seem to be on opposite sides of the tub? :(

Just do whatever you did with your rats B. You know, take that "hands on" approach ;). LOL
