So, I am a little concerned about Jellybean.
I got Jellybean as an adoption. He had only been at his previous home for a couple months, and he had been adopted by his previous owner so in the span of a couple months Jellybean changed homes twice. When I got him, he was underweight, so I fattened him up, he is small, and probably about 4.5 years old I would guess. He weighed 867g when he was at his peak.
This past little bit has been hectic for him, we brought him here to be cage mates with Alfonz, but Jellybean would have none of that, and they just fought until they had to be separated. We tried again recently, and they were on my living room floor for like, 8 or 10 hours, then in the end Jellybean bit Alfonz face, and Alfonz is only 9 months old, for reference. We built them a cage to live in together, it was a 4x2 c&c but since they couldn't live together, they got downsized to 2x2 each for a short while, then they were upgraded to 3x2 each, side by side with a barrier so they could interact. Then, we ended up being handed a 2 month old baby pig, by my sister who couldn't keep him, so Alfonz and Marbles (the baby pig) needed a cage upgrade, so they got a 3x4 cage, and Jellybean got moved to an upper level 2x3 cage, so his cage size stayed the same.
So all that has happened to Jellybean since September 7th when we got him here in our care. And his previous adoption happened before that obviously.
Since the 16th of this month, Jellybean went from 867g to 817g, so he has lost 50g between the 16th and today. He is still very energetic, and he is eating his hay, and most of his veggies (I do tend to give him too many veggies so Im not worried about his remaining veggies) he eats most of his pellets, but again I tend to give him a few too many pellets, he gets 1/3rd of a cup of pellets. So, energy levels normal, food habits are good, and pooping is normal also. He also seems to be peeing normally as well.
Any suggestions would be valued. I believe I will start weighing him daily for now.
