Acting strange after vacation

[Apebull]

We just came back from vacation late last night and Twigs is acting strange. He's not really eating. He has eaten his hay so he is eating. But my mom said that he hadn't been eating his pellets or greens. He isn't acting like he has a belly ache and is pooping. We were gone a week if that matters. Like I said he is eating and pooping he's just acting weird.

I'd just observe for now and see if he goes back to his normal routine.

I bet he was really thrown off by your leaving. Poor baby! I'm sure once you guys get back to your regular routine, he'll get back to normal.
Like Larry said, watch him and make sure its not the start of something. So his poops do look normal?

he could be a little stressed out from the temporary changes... if you can get ahold of some probiotics (petco and feed stores often sell them, or you can buy them online), I'd dose him with those since they're very helpful to give when an animal is under stress of any sort. beyond that, he's eating hay and pooping, so I'd give it a few days for him to settle back into his normal routine with you before starting to worry.

His poop is smaller then normal. He did eat all his greens last night which he hadn't been doing according to my mom, but still hasn't eaten his pellets which is very strange for him. But he was doing dbf yesterday and did come up and demand his nightly pets. I'll just continue to keep an eye on him. Hopefuly he'll be back to normal in his eating soon.
