Hey,
So, Buggs has been doing amazing. He and Groucho are getting along great and insisted on sharing a cage again. The abscess has been gone for a few months now.
Anyway, I let them out of their cage for several hours every evening. During which, they run around, play, and enjoy a few raisins. They get so excited for their raisins! I know not to give them much, and I do mix up their treats for the sake of their tummies. They eat well, with plenty of hay (Buggs even eats hay again!) and some pellets. I gave them some lettuce (Romaine) a couple nights ago. Last night, Buggs did not come out of the cage. I don't remember, but I think he didn't eat when I gave them pellets. But he gets in moods sometimes and doesn't want to come out, so I didn't worry about it. But, tonight, neither of them would come out. Not even for raisins, which usually get them to come running. I offered raisins in the cage. They sniffed them and literally turned their noses up at them. I gave them pellets. Same thing, noses up and moved to the back of their cage where I can't reach them (it's a big cage!).
It's Friday. My vet just closed 15 minutes ago. He won't be in again until Monday. Any thoughts on what could be wrong or what I should do?
