Simons going back to the Vet again today! No matter what I do I can't get him to gain any weight. Even tho he's still happy and energetic and eating a lot somehow he's gotten even smaller.

I've been trying to think of what could be causing his weight loss without any other symptoms, maybe he has stomach parasites that are stealing all his nutrients? So he's going in to have a fecal test done to check for anything in his stools.

I'll update in the comments when I know more!

I'm not sure what happened, I got a text from my Sister that Simon was acting unusually loud for some reason.

When I checked them on their security camera he was running around alot and trying to climb on everything, screaming the whole time.

I ended up coming home from work early to check on him and the girls and I couldn't find anything wrong. Physically everything seemed normal, but they all seemed on edge from something. Simon wouldn't leave me alone.

They all settled down after I cleaned the cage and gave them a big pile of veggies. I think maybe there was a fox outside and since my windows open they were able to smell it and Simon sounded the alarm. That or maybe he got confused when dinner time was and was trying to beg for food thinking I was in the room, he's partially blind so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't know I wasn't there.

Either way it was just... Odd... But they're okay!
