Hi!
Can anyone help with these sounds/behaviors?
They began today and are consistent- not improving or worsening. I read previous posts I see it could be respiratory or stress but not sure what could have triggered either. There is no cough and no recent changes to his routine or home. Any ideas??
He opens his mouth at times as if he is chewing or getting a stuck green out. He squeaks but also makes bubble sounds as if air is exiting from a moist area. He makes chirps and even soft quacks!! And it’s definitely coming from the front, not the rear! Lol
Here’s his background:
George is a baby, about 3 or 4 months and we are brand new here and are very happy to have found this site. Especially Tom’s informative care sheet, which is changing our lives, Thank you Tom! We have changed his set up accordingly as much as possible to the guidelines and what’s possible in CA.
About a month ago, we bought him at a pet store and got all the wrong things and once I started reading threads and applying the advice, he seemed to improve. The only thing he is missing is his enclosed house and humidity, but he does soak daily. Working on the closed enclosure part- will go with a grow house, just trying to sort out how to do it so that it’s lengthwise.
He’s been soaking daily in very warm water, almost hot and he likes it. He has a CHE for warmth and gets natural UV light soaks because I place his terrarium in front of the screen door by our deck and the sunlight and warmth and fresh air is all his. Also trying to wean him from grocery food- he is down to dandelion greens from the romaine the store fed him but won’t take grass yet. His temps are between 90-100 during the day and 80-85 at night.
what could be causing the stress or Respiratory issues? Thanks in advance
I took a video but it seems we can’t upload those!! Here are pics of him from the video. His mouth is very dark now. Not at all how it was when we got him. Are the soaks causing this? The pic of him eating was taken the day he came home.
