martnmagik 68 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 hi all. i have a problem. i cleaned out the hutches and fed my ferrets at 10 am and have just been out to them to let them have a run in the garden to find my hob all limp and lifeless! he looks alert and all his whiskers are up as normal but its like he is paralised,he will quicky scuttle his legs and slide a short way but then does nothing he is even messing his self and making no effort to do any thing. does any one have any ideas to what it may be? and before you all shout "VETS" im waiting for one to come out thanks mart.
