    Default Snorting ?. respiratory concern

    My squirrel had her second litter of the year (she is wild), and i have noticed at least one of the babies makes a snorting noise. He is very spry and adventurous, not lethargic at all. I have read a few posts saying that snorting is excitement, but have never heard anything like this and im worried it is respiratory in nature.
    please advise??

    He looks to be a beautiful, healthy boy. Those sound like curious, happy snorts and I don't think you need to worry about him. I have a 5wk old little girl squirrel who does that-- and a little growl, too-- when it's feeding time.😁
