Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has an explanation for this behaviour. My mouse, Moose, has taken to burying my hand in bedding and even picking up food and placing it in my hand (only when she's in the process of burying it in bedding already, though). I have included a picture of the result of her strange (but adorable) behaviour. She seemed to start doing this almost as soon as she was comfortable being near my hands and taking treats from me. I think it's cute but I also find it puzzling! I'm not sure if she does this in the hopes of keeping my hand in place, or what. Sure is funny though. In the past, she would only partially bury it but this time she nearly covered my entire palm (btw that is her in the picture).
Thoughts?
