>I have one more question. Every once in awhile, they(george mainly) will >wake up out of deep sleep or just a nap and scratch wildly (USUALLY at the >nap of the neck). They do that till it's gone and are fine for awhile. >I haven't noticed any bugs on them. And they have only been REALLY doing >it the past few days. Any advice would be GREAT, because I am so new to >this. I really hope that they are okay, as I love my kids. My Salem has a habit of doing this while asleep on my chest. The first time he did it scared me to death as I was in the middle of a good horror movie late at night and he had decided to sack out on my chest. All at once from nowhere he starts this furious scratching from a dead sleep. Needless to say the popcorn bowl didn't make it :) I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think they are just itchy sometimes. In Salem's case I think he did it on purpose to scare me. Hawk & Patrick, Salem, Faye & Bandit the ferts Pyewacket the cat and Smokey the African Grey Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and adore them.
