My boar digby is 4 years old. Around 3 weeks ago he chirped for the first time, at least to what i know. I got nervous and stopped it quickly as i thought he was seizing but after some research i realised he was chirping. Full check over he was fine all over. Put him back in his cage and he was normal.
He made this breathing sound before he chirped, it sounds like he’s having a panic attack. He sometimes takes a break after about 20 seconds and sounds like the sound they make when eating something mushy like melon. Today when i heard it he stopped when i turned the light on, and started again after around 5 seconds, then started again. He fully stopped when i got up to see if he was okay.
He looked at me like i was silly and he just went about his day.
He didn’t chirp today, just the breathing sound and the re salivating sound every now and again.
He’s really healthy and hasn’t had any changes recently, apart from getting his nails cut this morning with no issue.
I don’t believe he’s sick as he still acts normal, eating well and pooping often!. This sound could be a smaller version of chirping? but if it is, everyone says it’s likely he’s distressed or concerned, and as i don’t see any main reason as why he would be so scared. Then i’m sort of concerned for that sense.
I’ve linked a youtube short of the sound, sorry for the bad quality of the sound but if you listen close you can hear it.
Any help appreciated x
