[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: Hiding in back of cage

[warmbreath]

Unusual wheeking is definitely a symptom of something wrong or at least 
changed  Sammy wheeks when he wants food or attention, but Manyy and several 
others I have had including my precious Square Ed wheeked to call me when 
they were sick and wanted to be held for comfort. To wheeek as you describe 
could possible mean pain in urinating or pooping. I would give him a 
thorough check over, include cleaning out the "slot between his testicles 
and using oil to clean his penis and being sure its not gotten glued up, 
make sure you can extrude it all the way. Follow up with a quick bath, see 
if any unusual stuff floats out of his fur. Dry him quickly. When you 
examine him try to find any tender spots or unusual bumps or lumps. Dont 
forget to check his ears and jaw and under his chin, examine his mouth. 
Examine the pee corner of his cage for blood, are his poops normal? If he 
keeps it up another day get him to a good exotics vet.  Also check him over 
for mites, comb him to se if any flea or mite dirt comes out, watch him for 
itching, see if he's better after the bath and underside cleaning, if not 
it's vet time for sure. Unusual hiding is a symptom look for more, do home 
maintenance and then you will have more to discuss with the vet
