Hi, been a while since I last posted. RL has been super stressful, it's unreal.
Got a quick question re Bunbuns.
The last two days, since cutting their claws on Sunday evening really, Bunbuns has been very weird. Of course she didn't want to know me on Sunday eve at first, then she was normal again. Monday when letting them out their overnight enclosure she didn't come out at first, then came out, eat a bit, but considering how much she loves her food picked a bit and then went to sleep. Didn't really get going much till the evening. When her and Fluffy were running around like crazy again and she ate tons of Veg, most of his, but that often happens as he's more interested in hay anyway. she also pooped normal and has been eating plenty of hay. She just slept a lot more.
yesterday she came straight out, ate her food and played a bit before going to sleep, so just like normal. all fine all day really. slightly more subdued than normal maybe, but to be honest, she goes through phases where she doesn't seem to play as much.
today again, she didn't really come out for any pellets. she didn't sleep on the top shelf of the enclosure but by the tunnels, she often sleeps there in the day when she wants to be left alone, but never in the night as her and Fluffy are always on their shelf together. it has fleece on it so it's softer. Though she likes the bare floor best.
so she came out, picked on a few pellets then went straight back to sleep. Fluffy came up, so she demanded some cuddles. I gave her a crunchy as I know she always loves that, didn't even look at it. Then went back in her pen to sleep. Got up again just now to forage, she just wants that by the looks of things, made her happy noise while eating it. So I thought I give her some dandelion root, again she didn't touch it, continued with her dried forage, then went back by the tunnels to sleep, where she is now.
There is a good chance she is running around today again, but I am starting to get a bit worried. She also left her Cecotropes twice, ones last night and one yesterday late afternoon. That normally never happens.
Could she just be really tired or so with the cold weather?
I'd go to the vet, but literally there is no way I could even attempt to go today, and my regular one isn't there anyway this week.
what do you guys think this could be? as I am getting a bit worried. I am happy she's drinking, eating hay and pooping as normal. just not eating much of all else and sleeping a lot more than normal. Usually at this time she'd still be playing and keep waking Fluffy up, instead she's sleeping. I really thought yesterday she really was more her normal self again, but now looks like she's again like she was Monday morning.
by the way, when I cuddle her she still does her teeth purring and like I said when she does eat she makes her happy noises and was doing a few binkies yesterday again, but today she just seems to want to sleep.
oh before I forget... she doesn't usually sleep with her eyes closed. but today I noticed her having them closed a few times while sleeping. then opening them up again after a few minutes.
could she just be over tired for some reason?
Sorry went on a bit.
