I was late with Oschon's breakfast salad today and when I got to his room with his salad I wasn't greeted by him. It's uncommon, but I thought perhaps he was in his litterbox or munching hay. I looked there and my heart sank – he was laying seemingly lifeless half out of his hide.
I rushed over talking to him "hey little guy! Your salad is here!" and no response… But when I was close I could see his breathing and I relaxed, took this photo and laughed a little thinking of the stories here of other folks being scared by a snoozy flop!
My laugh woke him up, with a grumpy expression and a little stretch he hopped right over and head butted my hand. I gave him a couple scritches and as soon as he saw the salad I was abandoned for food. 🤣 (it's a mood little guy I understand)
So after a morning scare I was able to tidy up since he emptied half his hay rack all over his home base cage. Oh buns!
