Is it an animal that is supposed to be in a group?

Some animals, although individuals have been known to thrive alone, the majority prefer having another to bond with. It may be an individual that just wants to bond to another of its species.

I can think of very few small exotics that people expect to be affectionate that do well entirely alone.

It's also possible you just got a dick. Provide for basic needs and stop trying to give it interaction and try to reduce stress as much as possible.

If you're trying to 'flood' it with human interaction all the time and never letting it feel alone and safe, you're just going to end up with a stressed out unhappy animal. You need to adjust for what your animal wants to be healthy and happy, not what the general experts say.

Like I have snakes. A lot of pet owners hate racks as ugly and cruel and talk about how snakes need large terrariums full of enrichment. I built huge terrariums full of enrichment, perfect temps, spotlessly clean, everything that was supposed to be a snake owner's perfect snake habitat. My snakes spent all their time huddled and hiding and rarely ate. I put them in their plastic tubs in a rack, and they're bold, active, easy to handle, and eat like little pigs. They're showing all the behavior signs of a content and unstressed snake, so I'm going with what makes them happy, not what people on the internet say.
