Good news: Poe likes his new wheel. - 2006/04/09 06:57
Bad news: he's getting poo and (and I think pee, too) all over himself!
He had poopy feet this morning and then when I had him in the bath (his first, just a warm water and olive oil soak for his feet) I saw that his fur was soiled in places too.
I don't think that I'll have a problem with giving Poe a bath every day, but he's developed dry skin (this began a day or two before he got his wheel). Will baths make it worse? :/
Also, how do you dry them? I patted his quills a bit with the blanket (I use a flannel baby blanket for his towel), but he didn't like that. His quills still looked wet when I put him in his cage, wrapped up in his blanket. I didn't really know what to do for him though to get him dry :/ He stayed in the blanket for a while and he was on a snuggle safe disc. He's running on his wheel now so I think that he at least didn't get a chill. Whew.
Anyway, thanks everyone. I'm sorry the post was so blathery
