I mean can you give your uro too much pedilyte? Is 30ccs ok if he will take it or should their be a limit?

oh goodness no! I was just using that as an example. I did give him a little more tonight after I got back from dog training and he took it great! I actually love to hand feed him like that it's soo cute to see his little tounge. He actually gets upset if there isn't any in the dropper for him to drink... he reminds me of a small kitten drinking out of a bottle (a hairless kitten maybe) *wink wink* but he looks a lot better his stomach seems full and he looks better already. I think that moving him into the other cage may have upset him a little. I didn't realize that when he went into his original cage that 3 sides were naturally covered and that probably helped him adjust a lot faster. So I covered the sides of the cage today and we will see how he is doing tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your help.

Good,I hope he will chill out and start to come around for you.I would give him a little pedialyte if he'll take it and you could put a small jar lid with water,just enough to cover the bottom of lid and put it in before he wakes up,cause they'll usually drink in the morning.But if he keeps drinking like crazy then you would have to take him to vet could be parasites or something else.But it could be because of the moving around and his stress level,so just watch him close.Good luck!!
