Whistling in the bath

SeeShell · 28-12-2011, 04:52 PM

Sine my 12 yr old male hermanns arrived with me he's make a whistling noise when he gets bathed. It's the only time he does it. None of my other torts do this. Is it something I should be worried about? He's fine otherwise.
Thanks

It may be he feels a bit stressed Corra? I had a new Margie male who took ages to settle in & wouldnt eat. I didnt worry too much as he was a very good weight but bathed him every morning & he did the same, snort & whistle. I was quite worried & realised he only did it when I was in his enclosure, when I listened outside he didnt do it.

I wondered that too Lynn. I have a very vague memory of Stella doing it when I first got her a few years back but it just went away. I very much leave him to be in his enclosure and he's fine so maybe just the stress of being lifted out and bathed.
