I’m sorry to hear about Wotan. It could be that he is just going through a growth spurt and is extra tired. But I am worried that he could be sick or painful too. Take Wotan in to your vet to make sure he does not have a sore back, parasites, or other infection. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Wotan!
