My Dad called this morning (buns are staying with parents) because Phoenix wasnt interested in eating and was lying fairly flat on the platform at the back of the cage.
I advised him to give her tummy rubs and offer her some veg, which he did and she tollerated the rubs well. she perked up a bit but still not eating.
He took her to the vets - everything normal, good gut sounds, acting normally again, no difference between Phoenix and Indi except slightly lower rectal temp.
Didn't give her any treatment as there were no clinical signs - she hopped around normally and groomed herself.
They're now back home and both eating hay. Indi has eaten some carrots dad offered, but Phoenix isnt interested. He's monitoring her for now, and the vet said he can go back any time today with no extra charge.
So is it just a passing thing? why isnt she eating the carrot now, but happy eating hay? dental pain?
