Baby BT Q..

Diamondback-dave Oct 17, 2004 02:06 AM

Got my bt a couple of weeks ago and i'm noticing that it's making little poping noises when i get close to the cage or i'm getting close to it. It eats fine, no discharge from anywhere, it huffs and puffs when i mess with the cage and wiggles when i hold it.What cha think? Still freakin out about everything? Should i give more time to get settled before i start holding it again? How were some of yours when they were haychlings?

all mine were pretty unhappy with human contact as yours is, mine would never bite but they would tail whip, huff and puff as you stated, never heard any kind of "popping" sound though, i'd keep an eye on that to make sure it doesnt turn into something else, maybe respitory related? hopefully someone else will have some more insight, or would have a monitor that did something similar.

my Savannah does the popping thing also, but only when I hold him.

Why do monitors seem to always look at you like you owe them money?
