Hi everyone,
I am in dire need of adivce.
Quirites is a 5 month old buck. He has always been very social with rats and especially with humans. He loves to climb on me and curl up in my hoodies.
I have been recently introducing my main 4 boys (of which quiri is part) two the new two babies.
Everything went well, I even got to move them to the big cage.
I was absent one weekend and my partner informed me that quiri and jasper (one of the babies) had been fighting to a dangerous point (hissing and co) so I told them to intervene and to separate them into the two original groups.
Since then he has been on edge.
A day ago he started screaming at me when I come in near proximity (he never did, he is not skittish at all).
I cannot figure what is wrong as he does not react much in the daily health check (I pick them all up daily and check for injuries and move parts and gently push, check for lumps and co).
He has been grooming his tail often, but he does not react specifically when i touch it in any way.
He also has been screaming when anyone (even his brother or friends) come into proximity.
I am very worried and will be bringing him to the vet tomorrow.
Internet did not give any results.
Has anyone an idea of what it could be?
Any suggestions for how to behave in the meantime?
I am thankful for any advice.
