Spastic, seemingly uncontrolled movements would indicate DKS symptoms, which are thought to be cause by poisoning, among other things (chemicals, pesticides, etc). It would have pointed to contaminated substrate or a decoration.Fingers crossed that it was just the moist sub. I spoke to a guy a couple months back who had almost the EXACT same thing happen with his rosie, and it was the moist sub. His perked right up after he switched to dry. Good luck!</blockquote>
