Squirrel doing "guppy mouthed" breathing VIDEO
Sometimes "newbies" are concerned when they see their squirrel
breathe like this video.
They think they are gagging or have pneumonia.
I just wanted to post this here so you can see what some squirrels,
for some unexplained reason, do when they eat.
This is only when they
eat, and it is very difficult to continue feeding, but nothing to be concerned about.
Sometimes blowing in their face will break this trance, or sometimes you have
to just be patient and let it work itself out.
Either way, do not try to rush the feeding as that will cause aspiration.
These little ones take a lot of patience but they are SO worth it.
