Social pyramids also occur among
different groups of exotic animals. Those that are less assertive, demonstrate
distinctive indications of surrender to the dominant ones. Here are the most
common submissive behaviors demonstrated by specific types of exotic animals:
Bearded Dragons. A subservient bearded dragon exhales up or swings its arm in a round movement when meeting a dominant bearded dragon.
Degus. Degu displays submissive
action by lying on their back to show their tummy, just like dogs. You need to
demonstrate to your degu pet that you are the dominant one by placing him
gently on his back and holding him in that position until he stops struggling.
You should do this if your pet degu happens to nip or bite you.
Ferrets. The dominant ferret puts a submissive ferret on its back. Whenever your ferret attempts to demonstrate dominant behavior or hostility, you must show him that you are the alpha leader by holding him by the scruff and placing him on his back.
Consult with a veterinarian Santa Rosa, CA if you are having difficulties with the behavior of your pet.
