I am pretty worried.
We have had Cocoa now for a little over a week, she was born on November 25th. On her second day home, 1/13, she weighed in at 212 grams at 7pm. Today, 1/20 she weighed in at 177 grams at 11am. The first few days we brought her home, she drank and nibbled her food (the breeder's mix) probably as much as you would expect her to. She was pooping and peeing fine, I could see evidence of it in her wheel, which she took to the first night I had it in her cage. But for the past few nights, little has changed other than I see the water level decreasing in such an amount that I know that she is drinking healthily. Last night I counted out the kibble- and she didn't eat one piece. I haven't changed or added to the mix at all yet. The breeder had her on some mink food and Spike's Delight.
I have checked on her regularly- she is warm enough, the room temp is a constant 74-75 degrees. She gets adequate light, she has a snuggle safe disc for her to sleep on that I keep warm and change out with another in case it gets cool. She acts fine- in fact last night I had her out on me, and she didn't ball up except when I went to pick her up- she walked all over me and snuggled into me.
So my question i
