Time To Eat

[bunnybannanas]

Petra has decided to go on hunger strike today. I'm not sure if it's because either:-

1. i went out for dinner without her last night
2. The dreaded hoover monster came out this morning
3. She's decided to try and slim down and get rid of the winter coat.

In any event today she hasn't eaten or drunk all day and I'm starting to get a little bit worried about her.

Can we have some encouraging words / tellings off before the oxbow comes out. She has exactly 30 minutes to start eating. I've just massaged her tummy for a bit to see if it helps.

c'mon Petra, be a good bun and have something to eat.

Did she eat yesterday evening when you got home or do you know when she last ate? Has she pooed at all today? Sending vibes for Petra.

Yeah she was munching away when i got home and i know she ate at about midnight because i was playing with her until i went to bed.

She slept downstairs last night buy I didn't see any poops. I tell you what she has just done - gone to her litter tray, sat inside it, stuck her bum over the side and peed on the floor. [emoji19] if I wasn't worried about her she would be told off right now.

So no poo last night and today. And no food or drink all day today. Is she behaving normally and running around? I think I would want her examined by a vet before giving her any syringe feed.

No poop but she has peed. She's running around and behaving completely normally

Hmm, has she been eating any hay or fibre?

A bit of hay but not as much as normal. She's binkying and running all over the show

 

[Omi]

How's Petra now? Any change?

She's had a bit of parsley and some more hay. We have a few poops and a bit more wee (IN the litter tray thankfully!) we're sat cuddling and I'm trying to convince her to eat some pellets! At least she's pooped.

 

[Omi]

That's sounding a bit more positive

We've now licked some pear (she's never had pear before, is it ok for her to eat?!) and now we're licking a wall.

 

[Omi]

Yes, pear is fine :thumb: Much better for her and probably more tasty than the wall :lol:

Yum, pear is really nice

 

[bunnybannanas]

Why eat your own food when you can eat the tortoise food?! [emoji848][emoji849]

Guess we're back to normal

 

[bunnybannanas]

Oh ok good! Although she does like licking walls

 

[bunnybannanas]

Yum, pear is really nice

Excellent. She can have more then!

 

[bunnybannanas]

She still hasn't drunk anything though or pooed as much as normal?! Shall I massage her again or just leave it?!

 

[Omi]

I think I would just leave it, but monitor what she's eating/drinking and what her output is. If she eats the pear, there will be some fluid in that and if she's weeing then she can't be dehydrated.
