My two boys live together in an insulated shed with mesh at the window.
Since Twinkle passed away they've been ok with each other but they don't snuggle like they did when she was here and they now sleep in the main shed area, they don't go into the little open hutch full of straw.
This morning it was -1 degrees and Ozzie was hunched and wouldn't eat. Stan ate a bit but usually they fall onto the pellets with gusto.
I brought Ozzie in and tried to feed him inside. Then we did the infacol and pain relief, the tummy rubbing the bit of a chase round to get things going. All the usual stuff. I also managed to get about 6ml of critical care down him
He hasn't done this for a long time and used to get him eating within the hour. Today it took till lunchtime. He was fine just not eating.
I brought Stan in and set up the indoor cage and that was when they both started eating properly. I think they are cold in the shed. The cage is open but as yet they haven't ventured out because I have put it in the kitchen instead of the lounge this time which is the room they are used to.
I am wondering if I should just keep them in till spring or I also wonder if there is anything else I can do in the shed for them as they are happier outside.
I know its not an ideal situation to bring them in and then put them out hence why I am pondering my options
