Cheddar really isn't well :(
He has been very lethargic and just sitting still next to his house for ages. He will get a drink and go back there.
He has his eyes squinted and to be honest, I don't think he will last the night based on the way he is now :(
Really don't know what's wrong with him but I don't know what to do.

My poor baby.
I can't bear to loose him I really hope he gets better :( :(
Best wishes going out to lovely Cheddar!
It may just be an illness, but I think he's pretty old now ?
I hope it passes, but you may have to be prepared for the worst. :(
Really hope he pulls through after a bit of a rest.

I really do hope he pulls through.
However with all my other rodents, the way he is now really isn't good.
It is so sudden, I truly can't bear to loose him.
I love him so much.

He is still lying there and breathing quite fast.
I don't know what could have caused this!

He is my best friend and I can't image how it will be without him :(

That is true. His light is still on due to the LOW temperature.
That's probably why and why I use a CHE that gives out heat but no light as tortoises can't sleep properly without complete darkness.
See if you can get him into a hide near the heat source or cover him up with something.

It's something we all go through with animals we adore.:(
We have to carry on with our happy memories and content ourselves with knowing what a happy life we have given them.
And you have Monty and Spud to help you onwards, we all know how much you love and take care of your pets.

I would be the opposite, I'd have to sit with him, all through the night if necessary, in the dark so he can sleep, but just so that he wasn't alone.
It's so very difficult and i'm so very sorry.
Trying to keep positive, but it's hard.:(

I've left him in a dark room to rest but when I see him like this I just can't help but cry :(

However, I had a quick peek and he is starting to eat and move a bit, no doubt he'll go straight back to his spot and lie down again.
It's a strange place, I've never seen him sit there before.

Just praying for him to recover.

i'll be thinking about him half the night as well !
I've come to know him and care for him a lot over the last few months and worried so much when he had that tumour.
But also laughed along with his antics and his cuteness and enjoyed all the photos here and on his thread. :)
Lots of happy times!

Oh, no!!!!!
Just take it slowly and carefully, we can't have you getting hurt at this time! ;)
Dark and quiet may be a good thing for Cheddar right now. Just don't hurt yourself!!!:D
I've managed to get dressed with the help of my lava lamp.
It gives off a dim red light so it's still quite dark.

Got to keep an eye on the lamp though as I knocked it over and it's glass. It seems to only have a few scratches but knowing me, I've probably broken it o_O

Next challenge...
Doing homework in the dark o_O
Could be tricky.

I hope the lava lamps ok.
They're great!!!:)
I don't have one now, though.:(
I used to do my homework under the covers with a torch when I had canaries in my bedroom, but it's quite tricky.
