Best Answer

It is wagging it's tail for three different reasons. 1) It might be because of training at the pet shop before you got it, 2) It may be wagging because of the cold. Mine wagged its tail when it was cold. If it is cold I'm sorry, it is dying or 3) Nerves. They do it self-consciously sometimes.
