Darwin is puzzling me. Is it possible he can't see or hear properly?
I'm probably completely wrong, but I wonder what others think. When I took their pellets up this morning, Dottie ran over as normal, but Darwin didn't react at all (not unusual at the moment). I scattered the pellets and he still didn't move (like a statue staring into space) so I started putting some hay in, some right under his nose and he sort of wobbled forward a bit and straight away started eating. So I gathered up some of the pellets in his bowl and put them right next to him too and he starts munching away. It was as if he didn't see them until they were right in front of him.
I guess it could be that he's still feeling too poorly to move towards the food himself, but it was so odd, idk.
Though, after that I notice that he has then gone over and is next to Dottie eating the remaining pellets. Any ideas or thoughts welcome x
You know, from what you've said, it's really difficult to speculate what may or may not be going on with Darwin. If it was a hearing or sight issue I would've felt you'd have had some inkling of it before now....
The wobbling concerns me and I'd want to get to the bottom of what that was all about.
Good luck xx
