He usually does not get up until in the morning until the sun has been up for a bit, then he comes out for morning play time. In the morning he always has 2 hours of play time before I leave for work. When I open the door to his cage and he always greats me at the door, hops on my shoulder for some kisses then proceeds with frolicking around in the house, playing on top of his cage and wrestling with me on his favorite blanket. Today he was up well before sunrise just running in this pattern, didn't seem interested in coming out when I opened the door and when I took him out he ran back to his cage went in the door and started back with the running pattern. There is nothing new or different in or around his cage and other than the odd running, he physically is fine. I'm hoping it has something to do with the solar eclipse as odd as that sounds but this new odd behavior has me concerned.
