Does anyone ever notice thier p'let jerking. Mine does it sometimes and i am new to all this. He does it while in his cage. I am a little concerned. When he was at the vet 2 weeks ago everything checked out ok

Mine does not twitch, but he does the strange jiggy motion with his head sometimes when he is trying to be nice to his girl. He is not feeding her when he does this, just jiggys his head.

Gee if he is twitching I think I would get him checked out..it could be lead or zinc. I believe they cause neuro problems. Did they do blood work at the vet? Whatever the cause I do not believe twitching is normal...any way you can get a video of it to show us??

Get him to the vet as soon as you can. I'd be concerned about metal poisoning.
