I’m at a loss here.

Quincy seems perfectly happy, but he hasn’t emptied his hay rack all weekend.  Usually he’ll eat all of it at least once a day.  For a while it seemed like he was digging around for his pellets (I’ll either give him a handful at a time or just throw them on top the hay so he can have fun scavenging), as though that was the only thing he wanted.  But then it seemed like he just didn’t feel like eating anything.

I know that sounds like a classic emergency case, but what’s making this confusing is that he’s excreting fairly normally and if I hand-feed him he’ll usually eat it.  He seems to be drinking water, if not as quite much as usual.  He also munched up some greens earlier.  He’s perky as ever.  Since he’s a binky machine I’m going to notice if the energy is off.

Tonight, off and on (even while I’m typing this), he’s been picking at the hay.  I’m hoping I’ll see that rack emptied soon.  For the past few days I’ve been confused about whether to call the vet, worried that he’s in trouble but thinking I didn’t have much reason to think he’s sick since he’s happy.

What do I do?

Edit:  Since I wrote this he seems to be munching normally again.  Still, I don’t know if this is a symptom of a bigger problem. 🙁
