    Question Signs of neuro issues

    What are some signs of neurological issues? The rescue RTB we got was being kept on cedar bedding, guess we rescued a rescue. Something just doesn't seem right with her. She tries to climb up to the tops of our head but it seems like she gets unbalanced and falls over and she seems to kinda spin a bit. Help, please.

    I know this is about my RTB, but I figured it would be ok to put it here in the advanced husbandry section so others will know what to look for just in case.

    that's fairly normal behavior for a rtb, they are climbers and like to reach. if you just got her, she's sure to be stressed, and will probably be a little "off" for a few days. however, the reaching is nothing to be alarmed over.

    Well, just make sure to quarantine her. If she has anything contagious you don't want your other animals to get it.

    I am not really familiar with RTBs though so it could just be completely natural behavior.

    Re: Signs of neuro issues

    how long does it take for one to be kept on cedar to develop neuro issues? I'll keep an eye on her to make sure that she chills out...guess I'm used to Q where he doesn't really try to do that.

    But in general, since there isn't a thread on here about them, what are some symptoms and whatnot?

    I currently have 4 in QT right now anyways.
