possibly not warm enough. Keep him nice and warm and give him cuddles, he needs to know you are good and will be looking after him.

He/She sounds cold. It's amazing how fast they loose their body heat. I feel terrible when I have to take mine out to feed, if I'm not fast enough they start shivering. Mine are in a shoe box, with air holes. With a fluffy towel made into a little nest.

a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel or one of those wheat heat packs warmed up works well .

I have my 8 sitting on top of our large fish tank above the heater, the bottom of the box is always warm :)
