I’ve had 8 month old Louie, a little 4lb Rex for about 2-1/2 months and the last couple of weeks he’s spending much more time laying around – in his cage and when he’s out.  

When he first came home he’d binky and run and explore just about the whole time he was out.  

Now he’ll now flop down and nap about anywhere.  I know that’s a sign of being comfortable here, just getting worried he’s not running around as much as he did when he first came home with me.  He’s alert and eating well – I’m careful to feed him 1 Tbsp of pellets twice a day and about 3/4 cup of greens twice a day and he’s good about drinking and eating timothy hay all day.  He’s VERY excited at feeding times and does ZOOM around in the morning before breakfast for a quick couple of minutes but is more interested in eating than playing.

We’re in Florida and although I have the air conditioning running all the time, it is around 100 degrees outside.  He still hasn’t gone through a big shedding though there’s a little more fur flying lately, and he’s constantly cleaning himself.  He’s not acting sick, just spending a lot more time napping  . . . . .is this normal?
