Hi!
First time I am whriting here! Thougt you could help me whit my sick Erik! He has constipation. He has been sick for about 2 weeks now. I am giving him a oil (I got from the vet) twice a day in his rump an one time a day in his mouth. He is even getting baths all the time. Today me and my boyfriend tried to stick a hairpin careful in his rump. That workt very well. But he still have some left. He is getting very thin, so I am very worried. I am hopping that you can help my! I realy dont want Erik to die.

Hope you could read my bad english!

sounds like you are doing a good job. Do whatever with the oil the vet said to do I have never heard of it before but it may work. The warm baths will help also quite a bit. Be carefull with the hairpin it is very easy to puncture the intestinal wall on a very small creature like this. Is not much else I can tell you guys to do sounds like you got it under control.
