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.
