[Dex21]

Hi all, my guy Dex is almost 8 years old now and as of late last night he is just sitting somewhere in the cage and looks like he's moping.  He does this a fair amount, but in the past when I call him or entice him with treats/dust bath he responds and comes up to the cage door.  But last night, he would barely respond to me calling him or giving him a dust bath and his ears are slightly back (normal color ears though).  I am pretty worried and would like some advice on what to do for him, because we do not have any exotic vets in this new area and I'm wondering if taking him to a GP small animal vet would just cause more stress for him without providing any answers.

Only thing I'm thinking is that there is a bit more hay in the cage than usual, so maybe he doesn't like this new batch of Timothy Hay?  I need to figure something out today because he hasn't acted like this in years.  Thank you.
