Some of you might remember Max, I got him as a rescue over two years ago. He was found running loose (!) outside. When I got him, he was only about 350 g.
Anywho, long story short, Max has become pretty skinny again. It has been a gradual thing, and it wasn't until a couple of days ago that I noticed how thin he is. I don't have a digital scale on me, but I would put him at under 400 g. He's never been a big chin, but I can clearly feel his ribs.
Now, this is the part that confounds me. I give them fresh food, water, and hay every day, and see him munching on his hay all the time. His poops are normal and in a normal amount, and he's full of energy and always wants out.
He has a cagemate, Taro, but I don't ever see Taro hogging the food or pushing Max away.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on here? Is there some way that I can help him gain back some weight?
