MHD not acting normal...help

hjk Dec 30, 2003 05:29 PM

My new mhd wont eat on her own. I have managed to feed her alittle with tweezers. But she hasnt eaten anywhere near as much as she should, and now today she wont eat at all. Also she doesnt move around the cage or anything. Just sits there. If I pick her up then she moves around and trys to run to the top of my head alot of the time. Could she be sick from parasites? Or could it be something else? Thanks.

Heidi, if you have not had her checked for parasites that very well could be the problem. Please get a fecal exam done asap. These aniamls can act well for a very long time and when they start to show symptoms they are far worse than you would think. It is a matter of survival. They can't show that they are ill or they will be seen as easy prey.

Good luck,
