Dagwell seems really tired or sad or something. He doesn;t run around much. He just sleeps in the hay loft, all the time. He has a futon,lots of hay, a cozy. The only things I can think of that have changed for him is that he got a pal, and I switched to aspen. Atticus and Dagwell are getting along great! So could it be the aspen? Dagwell was fine with the pine though. He's been to the vet the past week and we're going tommorow for a follow up ivermectin. He just seems so bored. I give him alot of attention, floortime, veggies. What am i doing wrong?
 
I dont think its Aspin at all. I had a piggie like that. She was depressed for a week and she has lots of buddies. All I did was leave her alone and let her come around. But keep an eye on him so that there is no sneezing or any major concerns.
 
wow i feel really stupid! It's because i forgot to "freshen up" their water bottle usually i change it around 3 and before i go to bed but i forgot to change it today. i put in the fresh water bottle and he drank for like 5 mins then started popcorning! YAY wow im so happy that it wasnt something serious. I think dagwell is afraid of the aspen though he doesnt walk on it he hops on stuff like from cozy to cozy. I'm going to try carefresh.
 
I ahve been there too. I went an hour with out checking their bottles and I felt bad. they all started fight over the bottles when I filled it up. I fill it up when I wake up, when I get home from work and before bed.
 
I gave them some extra hay and an extra carrot, i just felt so bad!
