Snorkle still isn't eating properly and I'm worried about dehydration. I took him to a vet for some sub-cutanious fluid injections to keep him going. Right now he is in his box in my room, recovering from the ordeal. Poor little puggle has some big, white welts on his back from the sub-cut.

What's his temperature compared to the normal?

I'm keeping his box at around 26C, and his body temp varies from 24 to 28. Anything above 30 is dangerous. They're not like normal animals. But then what's "normal" about echidnas? He is nice and pink, though.

I guess being pink is comforting.
