We have an 8 year old NR and he just started chirping from his bed. He has made two or 3 chirps at night before and we have assumed he was just dreaming. Tonight he has been chirping for over an hour. Just a couple of chirps every 5 minutes or so but he's been doing it for a while now. He's awake but not super alert like he would be if he was doing an alarm chirp. He seams uncomfortable. I'm concerned that he may be suffering some sort of pain or discomfort. He doesn't seem to be injured but his chirps sound sad. We are not in a 'squirrel friendly' area so we can't take him to the vet.
Have any of you experienced anything like this? He was working over a black walnut real good today. I usually crack them for him but today I let him work on it because he seemed to be really enjoying it and I thought it would be good for his teeth.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
