I've moved Nugget's cage into the same room as Newt's as doing some decorating in the living room. He might stay there now so as not to upheave him again, but I'll see. He was fast asleep in his house when I moved his cage and didn't seem bothered. As a special treat to distract him from the change I gave him a bit of the Country Hunter dog food at lunch time (the stuff he gobbled up when on Baytril) and sure enough late morning he came out and ate some and looked quite happy.

He is losing fur now - has a large patch missing on one side and a smaller patch on the other side. Also one of the lumps seems larger and is hanging down more.

Despite all this he seems happy in himself. Uses his sandbath and his wheel and gnaws on his tree stump and carries on doing normal hamstery things at some speed.

He is on Metacam long term though so assume that relieves any discomfort he would otherwise have.
