My albino girl, Bliztie, has become really lethargic lately. She's
always been slower and mellower than my other carpetsharks... they
play for hours when they're out, with only little 'catnaps' to refresh
them, and she used to come out to play for a while, and then crash out
for the rest of playtime. I never thought much of it, since she has a
permanently broken hind leg and it's harder for her to run around than
it is for the others... so I figured she wore herself out running
around.
But recently she rarely even wakes up to play, unless I go wake her up
and pull her out of the cage myself. She eats, drinks and eliminates
normally... nothing visibly unusual with her stool, urine, or eating
habits. Nothing unusual in her temperment or behavior when she's
awake. Nothing odd at all, except the increased sleep time.
We got her as a rescue, so I can't say for sure how old she is, but I
think she's probably around 5... (The shelter mom estimated her age at
3 when we got her)
Any ideas? Certainly not much to go on, but if I could get a couple of
ideas, it might remind me of some other relevant info...
Thanks!
