Answer
Dear Maddison,

I'm not sure if you have the mom, but if not, Thumper is too young to be without his mom. The very minimum age to leave mom is 21 days. If you just got him and he has never eaten or drunk in the cage that's why: He can't yet.

Other than that it sounds like a pituitary tumor or other brain malfunction. He isn't going to get well. He should be put to sleep if possible.

I'm so sorry about Thumper. Poor guy, he never had a chance.

squeaks,
