I can't really explain why. Everything seems completely normal. He has finished all his nuggets, as usual. He's been munching on hay and drinking well. All his wees and poos are normal (normal for him, anyway). Out of concern, I've just weighed him and he is 10g heavier than he was 2 days ago, so that's all good too. He just doesn't seem his usual bouncy self. He's going about his business, but without the same energy that usually puts into everything.

I hope my little Jerrybelly is doing OK. Hopefully some cuddles later will perk him up :(
 
I wouldnt worry. How old is he? They can continue to grow up to 18months. Too many pellets can cause weight gain and also 10g is about 10ml of water so he could just have a full bladder and tummy.

Thanks for this. He's 3 and 1/2 years.

I'm not really concerned about his weight - I was more relieved if anything. With him seeming down I was terrified that I would pop him on the scales to find that he had lost weight. I'd rather have 10g more of him, than less! :))
 
aww hope hes ok x

Thanks :) He's just eaten all his veggies, but he didn't wheek for them like he usually does. He just strolled over to them and tucked in. Usually he'd be telling the entire street that it was dinner time.

I'm hoping he's just having 'one of those days' and that he'll be back to his usual self tomorrow x
