weighed me lil girl yesterday and it appears she has lost weight... has got good appetite so spoke to a friend last night.. have been advised to feed her after vets weds n try her with two fuzzys if she is hungry she may take both fuzzys if not dont worry...but i do have a feeling she maybe somewhat dehydrated.. but will see what vet says weds( i know they have some sort of mix they can give them via tube)..if this is the case is there anything i can do to rehydrate her short of tubing her Also haven`t done pinch test yet will do that when she is active tonight

i like my animals more than i like people

hiya, why would she be dehydrated? if she has water she should be fine..


how much does she weigh now?

when you say she lost weight, when was the last time you weighed her? had she done a poo or not?

Fuzzy what? - If mice then they are not big enough for a hatching even.

Then that is why she is lighter, it is always best to weight them asap after they have pooed...that way you get a more accurate weight.

Remember the amount they do they are bound to be lighter after..lol..

weigh her again after she next goes and then compare...
