Hmm Slinky has taken 2 weaner rats and is now in blue. I watched her while Katana gently handled her last night and maybe due to her shed, but she flattened her body..was strange.
I'll weigh her tomorrow and report back how much weight lost. She is active and looks to be in good health, but getting worried now.
How long can they go without eating?
She is about 17 months old now. |

Duke was off his food since August but he has eaten 3 fortnights in a row now, even into his proper 10% of his heft Chihuahua-rats now, they eat when they need to.
I think I know what oh mean about flattening their body during handling, I think it's done to allow bending over obstacles by moving the ribs outwards. |

Spence took her out and examined her when he delivered Gala, said she was in fine condition, but still I worry a bit lol
September? Then she should start feeding again soon..she shows interest..sniffs etc then hurries into hiding lol |

My eldest just started eating again, think he was fasting since September. so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, but that is easier said than done. |
