My degu Scribble is usually very lively and runs around all over the place. He also normally runs to his sand bath straight away and he loves it. He is very tame. Today, we had him out, and he started off as normal, but after a minute, he started walking very weirdly, with his tummy flat against the floor, and his arms and legs stretched out, and very slowly. He started sniffing around like he could smell something, and wasn't taking any notice of us, the sand bath, or his food which he loves. He looked a bit like he had found a friend, but there was nothing new in there and everything was familiar. He is on his own at the moment after his mate passed away, so was nothing in the room that could have interacted with him. 
He was walking around very slowly and curiously like he had met a new friend, but as I said, there was nothing in there, he was also talking and squeaking to himself. There was no outside noise that could've set him off, so we don't know what could have caused this.
Help??? x

its true!). Its hard to pinpoint really but just give him lots of fuss and reassurance, maybe some treats and I'm sure he'll be fine. Poor scribble. :-(
I think he may have picked up the scent of my friends guinea pig who has been around recently and got a bit confused. I don't think it was the birds outside because usually he has a nice (loud) chat with them XD put he probably got spooked.
