clicky noises from marley

[nick_hine]

hey all,
Just noticed today that marley makes little clicky noises when bobbing head, never noticed it before probably because its pretty quiet. Anyone know what this might be and if its normal. she is running around madly like normal, so not too worried , thanks

yeah, Lily does that...might be to do with the breathing (others will confirm) but I think its perfectly normal - if he isnt laboured with his breathing, not making any wheezing sounds or sounds "flemmy", and eating, running round, poop solid/semi solid, and creamy urates - then I dont think anything worrying there. Sorry...its like i gave a checklist isnt it. But honestly, Lily does this and I sometimes I notice, other times I dont and it doesnt worry me...(see what others say) xx

yeh like i said we aren't worried about her as she is eating loads, running around, drinking and has had a wee and poo today. Just never noticed it before. thanks for the advice

Is it a creaking sound? If so, it's normal as this means the tort is just rubbing his beak together, mine do it all the time. I hope It's nothing serious

I've heard all my torts make a clicky noise before, but all have bright eyes, dry noses healthy appetites and correct toilet functions so this must just be normal.

yeah it is a creaky noise so think you may be right there, thanks guys
