So the new guy that I just took from a girl on craigslist, I've noticed that he is...grunting. It seems to be only when I have him out...unless I just don't hear it when he's in his cage. And it is not with every breath, but is constant in spurts. He will just walk around or cuddle or whatever while grunting for a few minutes and then he will stop grunting for a little while, and then he will start back up again. He seems healthy otherwise. I haven't noticed excessive sneezes and there's no wheezing. And he really does kind of sound like a grunty little pig. I've never heard either of my other boys make this sound. Has anyone else heard ratties do this? Is it a breathing thing or just a ratty quirk?
