It's not all the time just when he's stumbling around the cage....I keep freaking out cause im so worried about aspiration pnemonia, hasn't aspirated since i had him but I believe mary said he did a little with her a couple days before I got him... I hear no clicking....just grunting everynow and then....and chattering when he licks his feet....I think im being a worry wort but some reassurance would be nice! Very active poop and pee are fine and eaying great!!!

i'm comfortable in saying you're worrying too much about these noises... they're just vocal .... and you've got his brother now.....

miriams has a great video on what clicking is when it's pneumonia...i'm going to find it and post it ...be right back .....:D :grouphug it is good to worry ....i do it all the time....:D :thumbsup

i don't know what the first sign is ... but i'm thinking it takes a short time from bubbles out of the nose... and if it will develop into pneumonia .. maybe one or two days at most....

so i think shiloh is just vocal... :)

Simon makes lots of gruntie noises.
When he is glad to see me,
when he is hungry,
when he wants to play
you will learn what each one means as you go.
You know your flyers signals right? or a dogs?
Same idea, just a different language :D :D :D
They are very aware when something is new and different,even when their eyes are closed.
as long as he is eating and peeing and pooping you will be fine. I can pm my # if you want to talk sometime.
