'Squeeking'

DoodleBopper · 13-02-2009, 05:52 PM

I was reading one of the other threads about squeeking and my torotise does this too sometimes. When he's in the bath he sometimes makes puffing noises. And now when he sleeps he makes strange squeeking noises and moves his legs around, I thought he was dreaming, but i'm sure this probably isn't the case.

They make 'squeaking type' noises with their mouth at times which isn't actually squeaking but comes from their tongue on their beak or something and is normal but there can also be more serious reasons for a squeak I believe if it really is a squeak. Something stuck in the throat or breathing difficulties etc

the other day I swear I thought it was a mouse but i'ms ure it was him because I went and sat by hima dn he was moving his legs around and stuff. I'd look in his mouth but he never opens it and so i can't

If he was squeaking and moving his legs about in a distressed type of way and it's happening a lot then personally I'd get him seen to but if you think it was a one-off and he doesn't appear to be distressed then it's probably just the noise that they make. I would say mine make more of a scraping sound rather than squeaking.
I am only quite new to this as well so hopefully someone else has an opinion

not too sure why that is...
my Hermanns made the same "barking" sounds last summer for 10 days or so..then stopped...haven't figured out why...

I wouldn't worry about the wheezing, when they're bathing...mine does it all the time
