Hi, I've had Alfred now for nearly 2 years, it's his second birthday in two days. He's relatively healthy, but he does have WHS, but its not that bad and and he is on meds for it.
Recently, like this has only happened three times now, when hes sleeping and hes on his back, he'll go a very very limp, as in when i pick him up he just curves in my hand, the opposite of what hedgies usually do. The first time i got very worried very fast and moved him, and he kind of woke up startled and just went back up and to normal. But the most recent time his heart rate seemed to slow down, and his eyes were open a little while he was flopped and i kind of had to shake him a little to get him back. I have no idea what this is, and I can't go to the vets get as we have no way to get there at the moment.
His heat mat is fine, he eats and drinks fine and he uses his wheel like normal. Nothing about him is unusual, but this is scaring me cause he goes so so limp it's like he is dead.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks
