>>Was he ever checked for parasites? If he's slowed down eating because of the winter (which can be normal), sometimes that will let parasite numbers bloom.

He was indeed checked for parasites when he came in and was clear. Not sure if Linda knew this, so figured I would mention it.



His original owners fed him (and I quote) "Lettuce and carrots when my son remembered to feed them" they also fed a large quantity of crix and mealies. He had birdseed for bedding as well.



Linda, I would suggest getting a blood panel to make sure everything is working well.
