Answer #2

Have you taken him/her to the vets? See what they say… = )

Answer #3

I agree with Phrannie, and they don’t have a long life span. How old is it?

Answer #4

See if you can wrap him up, in a washcloth, and maybe put an electric light bulb over his cage…to help warm him up. To be real honest, when the body temperture has lowered to the point that he actually feels cold, he’s probably on his way to Rainbow Ridge (pet heaven)…

I’m sorry…
