Hi,
I don't think I would call it "skiddish", but it is kind of hoppy. Rooey will run around a lot and scatter from place to place like a kangaroo, sometimes on two feet, she will hope like a little frog, actually she moves in all types of ways. I think that is just there nature, they really dont move like a cat or dog would. I got Rooey a Wodent Wheel like 3 months ago and at first she just sat in it for like 2 second intervals and jumped on it from time to time, but now she is in love with it. It took her like 2 weeks to "get it". She spends hours and hours (literally) each night in it. And it is SO QUIET compared to hamster wheels (they can drive you nuts!!), it glides. The only bad part is that they can get real dirty, but they do come apart easily so that's a plus. You're gliders will probably be more loving as time wears on. It didn't take mine long to (probably because she's an only glider), but she would rather sleep on me and cuddle than play or sleep in her cage. She will lick my hands for hours and "groom" my hands also, it is really cute, and I think that is a sign that she is "giving back the favor".
