I am not able to let my bd out of his viv as much as I would like but when I do he runs around the room but mostly he runs from wall to wall and scratches on ththem. He also black beards while doing this. What do you think of this? Is he unhappy running around?

Hello :) My male does the same thing. They are dont understand that walls are in the way and are just trying to run "through" them. He is black bearding because they are prey animals and he thinks you are scary. Not that he always thinks you are scary just at that moment that is his response.

Thanks for the relplies. I never thought of those reasons. I was just worried he may hate being out but at the same time he scratches to get out.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
