Two hours ago, I opened Buzz's hutch door because he hadn't been up at the wire for a while and he usually is at this time of day. He was lying, flopped out with his head on the floor of the hutch and he looked really listless and floppy... His tummy/chest was going in and out very fast (even though he had been lying down for a while) and he just looked odd. I offered him a pellet and he refused to take it. I put my hand in to get him to his feet, but he didn't get up and just laid there. His eyes were half closed too while he was trying to look at me. I pushed him from behind quite hard and he still wouldn't get up. So I panicked and picked him up and brought him inside.
Once inside, he was completely normal bouncing around on the sofa, running on the floor, sitting on my lap, grooming etc. He was immediately back to normal and I kept him in for an hour. When I went to put him back, he got into his hutch, went to the same place and flopped out again the same as before, breathing fast, floppy, listless.
What's going on? He had been freeranging in the garden before this, doing a bit of racing around but not more than usual. Is he just tired?! :shock:
