I just took the two girls out for play time. It was only about a half hour at most which i have slowly been working up too after twenty minutes louise went back in her cage and started laying down ears back and just acting not herself. I gave her a raisin which should would not take so I broke it in half which she ate. She then started walking around her cage like she was drunk using her back legs very strange. I noticed some hair fell out. Now she is ok just resting. Was this hoypoglycemia? She is not hot her ears are cold to touch and no veins showing.
 
She is eating hay but for a few min she seems fine then she starts acting Like her legs are foreign. I'm guessing if she is eating she is ok just seems to be going back and forth between me thinking she is not ok and then normal
 
Sounds like a low blood sugar seizure, cut back on the playtime for now. How old is the chin?
 
She is two years old. I just got the two of them about a month ago. I'll go back to playtime every other day and just do ten to fifteen minutes and give a half raisin each before play time to help. I Love them so much its so scary to see her like that. She was fine the rest of the night and acting like her normal self now.
 
I had the same thing happen with Cotton... definitely shorten playtime (I thought it was blood sugar until I realized even though his ears didn't feel warm at all, his feet were warmer than usual, so keep on eye on the feet, too. I have to keep playtime to 15 minutes or so just in case.
