Okay so, recently I've noticed two of my rats have hiccuping when they first wake up. I wasn't sure what to call it at first but after looking some stuff up I'm pretty sure it's hiccups, but I'm getting some mixed signals on whether I should worry or not?
Neither of them make noise while they're hiccuping, and Alice never sneezes, like at all. Clive does occasionally but never fits of sneezing, only one every once in a while, so I haven't really been worried about that?
It looks exactly like what happens in this video:

If they're not making noises I don't have to be worried though, right? I've only seen Alice do it once because she's usually sleeping in the most hidden spot in the cage, but Clive does it pretty often after I wake him up. They never do it once they've been up and moving around though, only when they're waking up.
This got a little long, whoops, but I want to explain exactly what was going on and such. I'm thinking it's probably normal and okay since there's no noise, but I'd like some second opinions pretty much. ;w;
