First he made a dash to crawl under my bedroom door and was too big to fit, so he came through backwards but it sounded like he was scratching himself on the way out and I noticed this afterwords:
Does that look like damage? Will that be all better after a shed?
..and the reason he got under there without me stopping him is because I was filming him trying to capture his squeaking sound. He only makes this sound when he is out of his enclosure, and it's not consistent, it happens only when he's actively exploring. I'm trying to narrow it down, it could be RI, but it's not consistent and doesn't happen in his enclosure..
..it could be stuck shed because his last shed wasn't perfect.. or it could just be an excitement/stress noise as some people here have suggested.
(Turn up the volume, the squeaks don't start till 3/4 of the way through, and it's a horrible crescendo of t̶e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ squeak.
The last squeak is so loud because he thinks he's about to fall... and then try and crawl under a door.. and so we come full traumatic circle.
