Hi.
Ive had Pegasus for going on two years now, and Ive been lucky enough to have never had any sort of feeding/drinking problems with him. He eats like clockwork, every week. Lately though, hes developed a bit of a...cough? i hear at times a popping noise and even a bit of a squeak. he doesnt have any sores or anything... should i just raise the heat in his cage? what do i do?

Could be upper respiratory infection. The best thing would be to go to the vet. If this is the case just raisng the temps does not always help. Shots of amikacin from the vet will be the best thing to solve a URI problem. Hope I could help. Jon
