It could just be the legs are warm, especially if Peko is acting otherwise normal and healthy. If you are noticing swelling or discoloration of the legs, there appears to be an injury, or other sides of illness, then it is possible there could be something wrong with the legs, such as an injury or infection that should be checked out by a vet. Moving Peko to a hospital cage that is kept warm and with low, flat perches and shallow food and water dishes can help make it easier for him to get around until you can be seen by your vet.
