Nosey update:
He has 2 perfect bottom teeth I was maybe 5 inches from his face (I'm shocked he didn't run from me or jumped me for getting that close), but he's still sneezing.

That's great news! I hope the little guy will be able to recover from whatever he's struggling with. I know it's worrisome.

My little buddy Nosey is still a most days visitor.
Poor little guy is still sneezing a lot and it looks like he has the hiccups. I was able to get a short video of him eating his block and I feel like he's not lifting his head while eating like he did a couple of weeks ago. There are 3 sets of new babies in the yard (Risu's babies, Sabrina's grandbabies and I believe Risu grandbabies, each mama had 2 babies) and there is a lot of chasing going on.....Nosey is a shy little boy and he's not been coming as close to me, with 3 crazy mamas chasing everyone around.
Here are the videos from 2 weeks ago and from today. What do you guys think?

I agree. He isn't lifting his head like he was on the first video.
He looks OK to me. What do you think?
He has definitely improved from what I can tell, but he still sneezes a lot. He seems to have a healthy weight for his size. I'm pretty sure that he is one of Risu's sons, he used to nest with Leggie and Normie (I'm pretty sure that they are all brothers).
Leggie has a disadvantage too. He must have broken his left front paw as a little guy, and didn't heal right. The paw just hangs there, but it doesn't slow him down. He is a little braver than Nosey and comes within inches of my hand. I'm not sure if they are still nesting together anymore. Normie doesn't come to visit as much anymore, he is the shyest out of the 3.
He definitely looks better now, since he's not lifting his head back to eat.
I do wonder if those "hiccups" you noticed are of him doing little growls
warning something to stay away. Do you think he saw something. He
seems to have departed rather quickly before finishing his nut.

I wished the hiccups were little growls, but I feel that it is connected to the sneezing. He took off in the video, because Risu was coming. She is the boss in the yard.
Nosey turned down the block I offered him and wanted a hazelnut instead so I didn't get to watch him eat today, but he was sneezing less. He is a really cute little guy
I'm happy to hear little Nosey is still hanging in there and improving some. And I'm sure it helps to have his guardian angels proving extra nourishment.

I'm heartbroken to share the news that little Nosey couldn't hold on any longer. I never was able to figure out what was going on with him. His visits became less and less frequent.
RIP sweet little boy. I'll miss you terribly
Oh I'm so sorry...
Godspeed precious Nosey...

I'm so very sorry. RIP little man.

It breaks my heart to read this. I was really hoping little Nosey would be able to recover from whatever was wrong. I’m thankful that you were there to provide extra nutrition and fresh water when he came. I’m sure that made it easier for him in his compromised state.
Godspeed sweet little Nosey.
