Social hierarchy structures are present in animals, too. Dogs, cats, and even pocket pets instinctively observe a social ladder. Less dominant members will display specific signs of being submissive to dominant individuals in the group. Below are a few of the usual submissive behaviors that can be observed in certain species:
Degus
Much like dogs, a pet degu will expose his belly while lying on its back to signify that it is submissive. If the pet degu you own tends to bite or nip, show your dominance by laying it on its back and hold the degu down until the struggling stops.
Ferrets
Dominant ferrets will force a submissive member down with its back to the ground. If your ferret is trying to display aggression or any dominant behavior, show your pet you are the boss by holding it by the back of its neck and pinning it on its back.
Bearded Dragons
A bearded dragon that assumes the submissive role will puff up or perform a circular wave motion using an arm if a dominant dragon is encountered.
If you encounter any issues with the behaviors exhibited by your pet, see your vet clinic Cy-Fair.
