Tried to get a Halloween photo of chubs in a wee paper hat. It was a fail! He wouldn't sit still enough. He did get loads of treats trying to get him to stay still so it was a win for him!

The worst one and the best one

Defo looks more ww to me, here is a pic of my ww to compare with x

Haha thanks DrKMcK, if we'd managed a better angle it would have worked better I think. The hat looks like it only covers half his head! He was just focused on the pumpkin seed you can see him munching from my fingers

Thanks for that babycakes! They do look quite similar in colouring and shape which is what I thought! Your wee one is gorgeous

I just love this sleepy wee face. He was in one of his deep sleeps here. He usually sleeps like this when he's been having a nosey out of his burrow, decided there's nothing of interest, and just lies down where he is and sleeps. I gave the substrate under his chin a wee nudge and there was no movement. He was out cold haha. If it wasn't for his wee twitchy nose id have been worried! Left him to it for half an hour, went back in to double check, and he was on his shelf waiting for me to refill his food. D'awwwww

Chubs has been at the vets over the weekend for what I thought was a suspected cold. He was squeaking away in his sleep yesterday morning so as it was Saturday and the vets closed at 12 I didn't want to leave it and see, only for it to get worse over the weekend and have to take him to the pet hospita, where it would be luck if they had an exotics specialist working.

He's been given antibiotics but the vet said his airways were all clear, he just had a little bit of wetness around the nose. He seems to be doing just fine today and has taken his antibiotic in the middle of a mealworm. He's a little more alert I think, althoght he was never acting really unwell. He's poking his head out whenever I have to go into the spare room now

he's getting lots of peace and quiet, as well as treats!

Here he is this morning, coming out his nest to get his mealworm!

A little update on my best wee man

He's been having a rather crap run of it lately. Whatever it was that was working on his wee system wasn't cleared up by the first antibiotics, so he was prescribed a further 10 day of baytril. We're currently on day 5 and I've not noticed any sniffles or squeaks since so fingers crossed that's sorted!

We've also discovered he has a little ear wart/skin tag thing. I only noticed because he scratched it causing it to bleed. I'd neglected his nail trimming a bit to give him a break during his antibiotics and his back nails had gotten longer than usual, so he's obviously caught it. I got a fright when I seen spots of blood on his bedding. As he's already on baytril the vet told me on the phone that I was best to just make sure it's healing and keep a close eye on it. If it gets bigger at all he'll be having it removed so fingers crossed it stays the same!

Apart from that, he is his usual cheeky self! We had a nice walk about my flat last night. He literally followed my voice as I walked slightly infront of him, eyes on him at all times of course. Until he smelled his room, at which point he zoomed in and straight to his food containers

I do love his little fluffy self!

Clairealex · 12-17-2013, 04:35 PM

Well my little man and I are off to the vets tomorrow to tackle that ear wart! I'm swaying to removal as he's fighting fit and 13 months, so id be confident in his recovery. He's also turned into the cuddliest attention seeker! I thought he was tame beforehand, but he's really came out his shell the past few weeks. He likes to beg to get out by standing on top of his house whenever he hears me in the room. Other times he just goes about his business, so he has his ways of saying 'not now thanks!'

I also finally manged to get a good selfie of him looking at the camera

ah his gorgeous wee face!
