Cold/flu?

[Straightfreefall]

Hi so I have 4 greys. Had them for a few months from the time before they even opened their eyes. They are doing amazing most because of info gleaned from the board and now I need another question answered. I have been super sick for the last three days and my dumb arse didn't consider the fact that I might be able to get my guys and gal sick.....? I usually push through colds and flu and try to keep normal routines. So it was natural for me to just continue with feeding schedules and playtime. They should be healthy as all get out as they eat nothing but organic veggies and fruits and we follow all nutritional suggestions and rules that the board has up. Normally the vegi plater is destroyed when I get home from work today it's hardly touched and all four are out cold and it took me awhile to get them up even with blocks. And that's not normal.

So you suspect ALL FOUR squirrels are sick and caught it from you based on there behavior today ??

Other than being lethargic (sleepy?) and not eating, any other symptom (coughing, labor breathing, poo/pee difference) ??

It is highly unlikely that your squirrels caught anything from you. I don't believe the common cold is zoonotic. Perhaps it was a gloomy or rainy day, darker than usual? Or lots of wind? That will get them to stay inside.
