Is he in shock?

Yeah, he's acting like his usual little grouchy self and swimming around like a derp. XD I just get so worried since he's been a very...Self harming little guy. He bites his tail so often I just let him do it when he wants to now so I get worried sometimes.

Hmm, bites his tail that much? I've heard of them doing that but none of mine have ever done it. I would think there's a reason for it, I'd try to find out why so I could stop it. It can't be healthy.

He only bites off the very tip...And that's when he flares so much it tears partially. He's a veiltail and it's actually pretty normal for him....I exaggerated a little but he used to be a pretty bad tail biter. He's been letting it heal though and he's a fast healer.
