Mr Nibbles Diary

[Amy]

I am do worried about Nibbles , he wanted to come out and he’s in his playpen but is not running as much as usual, it’s still very warm 25 degrees. He’s eating in between and then he lies flat on the mat cooling himself. I wish he would drink something but I can’t force him, or should I try with a small syringe? I still have plenty of unused ones. He has had a piece of apple

If you have cucumber, that is quite watery. Or damp veggies in action lid. Eating is a good sign. You could put a little dab of water on the back of his ear if he will stay still and let you. Putting a tray of sand in the fridge could also give him a cool surface to walk on.

That should be a tin lid, not action lid

He won’t eat cucumber he seems more active now, I have opened a few windows as it’s cooling down. I think dabbing behind his ears with water sounds good, but would probably be an impossible task
He made himself quite cosy on the mat, it’s cool on the floor, but it gave me a fright. He’s also been stretching and grooming on the wheel, so i guess he’s fine
