"Hey folks, my small male was not himself at all last night. He got up pretty late, 8.30 and usually gets up around 7pm. He has slept late before but the whole eveing he kept going back into his nest box and seemed very sleepy. He was moving around, although not very energetically his movement wasn't sluggish either, and he was eating both his pellets and hay although he wasn't interested in his shredded wheat given when we took his bath out which he did use. He has a couple of cuddley toys in with him, one which we put in his nest box at night and it's a certainty that he will have dragged it out come morning, yesterday when i got up it was still in there and he was sleeping on it, very odd.
Checked on him today and he came to my hand and had a tickle but still seems the same and still no interest in his shreeded wheat. Seems to be sleeping deeply as his eyes are firmly closed, sometimes they look open a tiny bit.
I did spot a couple of small poos on his shelf, I can't tell though if they are bit he's broken up by nibbling on them.
There has been no change in his diet, Charnwood breeding and active pellets, timothy hay given daily, small amount of alfalfa stalks once a week, dried banana or apple once a week and shredded wheat a few times a week (was every night but we cut down a couple of weeks ago.)
The only time at night that he will have a nap is when he's had a good run around out of the cage (every other night) on the nights that he's in he's usually bounding around full of beans.
He is due out tonight, should i see how he is when he wakes up and decide from there whether to get him out? If he's still not right tonight then he'll be going to the vets but any help advice or ideas on what could be wrong would set my mind at ease in the mean time. He is a small fella, weighed him last Tuesday and he weighed 408g but has no problems otherwise. Not sure if it's relevant but when it's been pretty hot lately he has been kept cool."
