Every night I go see the buns, Riley and Pancake, give them each an alfalfa chunk (it's from these compressed logs) and put them to "bed." Tonight I latched the cage (they were already in it) and got the alfalfa out and... Pancake didn't want any.
WHAT?!
She didn't want a pellet either. She kind of just sat there. I've been up since then watching. She's been grooming and doing other activities as if nothing is wrong. The only odd thing is she won't accept any food at all. Not timothy, not the seedy part of timothy, not alfalfa, not a bit of one of those papaya enzyme treat pills, nothing.
So I'm all worried and checking on her every 15 minutes, ready to take her to the MSU emergency clinic, when she hops away from me, and does a COMPLETE FLOP. I don't mean she flopped onto her side, which is cute. I mean she flopped all the way on her back. I've never seen such a thing.
Now I feel like I'm worrying over nothing. She's just full and wants me to go away for the night? In the meantime Riley's been eating hay like mad. Pancake cronches her teeth when I pet her but not otherwise, so I guess she can't be in too bad of pain.
Oh the other thing that had me worried is that she seems tired. But that's normal, I mean, it's her bedtime. But it seemed unusual for some reason. I can't put my finger on it.
