Hi everyone! I am new here for anyone who doesn't know my piggy Gin and me.
My piggy has a high-quality fleece liner from "Guineadad", since that was my only fleece liner I decided to get him another one from a different brand on Amazon, but it's also very nice quality. His new liner arrived today and I decided to put it in his cage right away as I did with his previous guineadad liner when it arrived, because it was packed in extra bags and everything. But the new liner arrived in the shipping bag only, without any extra bag or box inside for the liner. and I did not wash it because I thought it would be clean and safe to put it in his cage.
My piggy seemed happy at first, started sniffing everything and licking the new liner, also rubbing his butt on it, squeaking and running around, which are all normal behavior, but he also started shaking his head but slowly, walking around, and lying down in the middle spots, where he usually never lies down.. he also started itching his ears with his legs, but it stopped.. he was acting strange now he walked around licked here and there and went in his hidey house and lied down, he does not seem to be in a good mood anymore.
My question is, can he be allergic to new fleece for some reason? Is he getting sick or something from it or is his behavior normal? Can he get anything from the liner since I did not wash it first?
Thank you all!
