Thanks for reaching out about Tilly. If on the bottom of the cage, needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible, or contact the seller. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range might give some aid. Lethargy could be an infection, metabolic disorder (liver, kidney), parasites (internal or external), and other causes. A veterinary visit is needed to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. The flicking of the head could be possible regurgitation or a sinus infection. Good luck.
