Hi, new chin owner here- I'm probably overreacting but I just noticed that my chin Oscar's ears are droopy and limp looking when he woke up to get a snack.- I tried googling and searching these forums but I couldn't find anything. It could be that he just kept his ears down from when he was sleeping (this is the time he is usually asleep but I think he got hungry and wanted a snack) but I wanted to be safe just in case I needed to make a vet appointment. He is normal in every other respect, he's eating and hopping around in his cage. Does anyone know if this is a sign of something? Thanks in advance!

Drooping, bright pink ears can be a sign of overheating, but it sounds more like your chin was sleeping and didn't quite wake up all the way yet.
If he's eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and acting normally (playing, etc.) - then he is probably a lazy boy not wanting to wake up.
