when Dozer (5yo male sulcata) is looking at his food, and while he is eating he makes a weird noise.... first he starts by grinding his beak, im assuming to clean and sharpen it for the meal... then he starts making a croaking and kinda squeaky noise.... i have been listening to it carefully to make sure it isn't respiratory, and he starts it as soon as i place his food in his pen.
he doesn't do it any other time, like when he eats hay or is just laying around or exploring or basking or anything, just when he gets those greens!
is this territorial, mating? something odd... i don't mind it i just want to know if i should be careful.. he is very shy, it usually takes him 20 mins or so to eat if i stay in the room.. i try to spend time in the room with him a bit so he is used to me, i just don't wanna get rammed by an angry sully.. even if he is only 8 inches!
any help is greatly appreciated!
