Keep him warm and make sure he continues to eat. As long as he is eating and drinking, he will defecate eventually. Monitor for lethargy and loss of appetite. As a new pet, he should be examine by your veterinarian to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions. He can eat timothy hay, oat hay and similar grasses as well as alfalfa. Offer commercial pellets in limited quantities to prevent obesity. Fresh greens and vegetables should be offered gradually and in small amounts initially to allow his system to acclimate to different foods.
