Hi guys,
Ive had Griffin for almost a week and I have a couple of concerns about his health. I dont know if thses things are normal but when he sleeps he:
1) changes color. At night time his head and top of his body go pale and get a yellow color. It goes back to normal when he wakes up in the morning. Seems odd to me..?
2) goes floppy. My mum has woken me up twice thinking he was dead. His eyes are shut, head and tail droopy and his legs/feet dont look like they're holding on. When I wake him up he seems very dopey and moves slowly but so do I in the morning haha
My other question is regarding hydration. I am concerned he's not drinking enough, but he does eat small amounts of veggies when it suits him. I bathe him every day and have tried 'misting' and putting small drops on his nose but he doesnt lick it
off. is there anything else I can do?
Like I've said, I may be worrying over nothing but im new to this so any advice or help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance,
