Jumping and tripoding

[Scriffignano]

So Saphee has developed this habit of jumping randomly in her enclosure and tripoding every so often. She is still very young and little and I just wanted to know if that is normal behavior.

What is tripoding? Lifting an arm or a leg?

My gu stitches used to jump here and there and stand on his back legs all the time when he was little.we think he was just acting big.

Standing on their hind legs and using their tail as balance. Its adorable

They are definitely tough guys. And they know it. Wouldn't be worried at all, unless they are acting aggressively toward you - in which case I wouldn't respond to it, and I'd try to ignore it with very calm behavior. Def shouldn't be encouraged. You might regret that.

Sounds like she’s looking to get out or looking for food. Is it a top opening enclosed

it is indeed.

If they can see out they’ll try and use it to escape covering the top would stop this
