yes it's normal that you can feel his ribs, doesn't mean he's too thin ... if you can clearly SEE them, that could be a whole 'nother thing ...

he really should have fresh food available everyday tho ...

you can't tell by looking at him or the feces if he has parasites or not and it's a good idea to take a sample into the vet + have it checked ~ just to be sure ...

drinking water is normal ~ + wet sneezes are normal too ... IF he seems to be drinking alot, or for long periods at a time ~ *that* could be a signs of a problem ~ igs *usually* don't drink a whole lot, they get the majority of their fluid needs from their food (another good reason to feed daily) ... mist his salad with water before serving ...

good signs that he's eatin' + poopin'!
just to warn ya ~ it may be a fluke that he's calm right now ..... *grin*
