I was thinking it was his health. He has a history of MBD that is why I didn't release him. He is around dogs & cats but they don't go by his cage at all.
Yeah, we are kind of anal around here on rodent block...
What type do you feed? Have you tried another type to see if he will eat it better?
I was on my way out the door and trying to answer you quickly but there are other reasons
for the lack of "fluff." Sometimes they may fall, miss a jump, get a little to rambunctious and
hurt their own tails. It could be just sore and that is why he's not blowing it out, had this happen
to a friend without knowing why and it resolved itself within a few days.
Feel down the bone of tail and see if it's sensitive or if you can feel any swelling or bump on it
