Guest Magwitch Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Checking me livestock the other week I noticed one of me pugs didn't come out the nest box to greet me, so I opened it up and young Sidney were lying there not in a good way at all. When I picked him up it was clear that he had dropped a lot of weight and was very lethargic. I separated him from the other hob and two jills he was boarding with and after a week of feeding him up he's back to normal. He's a very good animal and as bolted many rabbits in his short career and is of sound character too. Sidney Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 One of my younguns from this year got a bug of some sort, terrible squits, and weight loss. A bit special feeding gave him his strength and appetite back (he got all the livers and some tinned dog food) and he's rolling again! Glad to hear Sids back on the prowl! Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Did he have a cold perhaps? I've read that ferrets can catch the same colds as humans. Quote Link to post
