Moo moo's lump/lumps have got really quite large. He still comes out to get his food but doesn't use his wheel any more. He also goes up his ramp to get his bit of veg but I've taken any roof/higher things out of the cage. The main issue it is making it very difficult for him to walk as the lump is so large and gets in the way of his front paws. We've cut out the bottoms of the circular entrance doors on his house as that was clearly bothering him as he was scratching and chewing at one of them (despite no front teeth) and he seems to approve of that. Annoyingly one of the doors got missed so I will need to take the house out again to do that one. But main thing is he can go in and out and to his nest easily.

I'm seeing how he goes. I think the Metacam is helping but can't be sure. He certainly likes it and licks it up.

I like to think he knew he was getting near his time so had one last grand pose for the autumn competition.
