Default My mini guy is 2!

My little robo Kiwi is 2 years old sometime this week. He's still pretty active and likes to run still. Poor guy is losing his fur though and has dry skin. I also think something is wrong with his back end because his tail is turned under and his back legs don't move like they used to. He's going to be spoiled with some baby food tonigt

Welcome to the little old man club Kiwi you adorable fluff


Can you be a little more specific about his mobility so we can see if we're able to help at all?

I'll get a video of him later when he wakes up for you.

His tail is fine, it's just where his fur has thinned so you're seeing the natural direction of his tail now .

He's got a bit of the old man scuttle going on, robos do tend to adopt more of a side to side movement as they age, but again the natural muscle wastage, and general weight loss make this more obvious. He is losing a little fur on his back there, but this can happen in older hams. As long as he isn't scratching so his dermadex mights are staying under control there is nothing to be concerned about. He looks like a happy little fella, and that he's doing well. Keep an eye out for any lumps or bumps, but as long as he is how he is just make a lovely fuss of him for as long as he has with you
