Hi
My little man Loki will be 2 years old next month and I feel so very lucky to still have him with me as I know this is a good age for a dwarf. I also feel extremely sad that I know we don't have lots of time left together.
This past month he has been a little quieter, not sure if it's the time of year, the colder weather or most likely, probably his age. I also feel he may have lost a little weight (I am going to weigh him later when he's awake). I have also noticed his scent gland on his tummy looks a little red. It doesn't appear swollen, but I am worried as I have read about tumors. Would this appear as a lump? He has been going mad in his sand bath recently, throwing sand everywhere, is he just having fun or could this be a sign of something I should be worried about?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer me.
