Sneezing?

Postby Lizardqueen&Chuckie » Fri Feb 29, 2008 9:51 pm

My bts Chuckie has been sneezing quite frequently since i got him. He seems fine otherwise, but im a bit concerned.

Has anyone else caught their bts sneezing?

blueys always sneeze.

They clear salt out of their nasal cavity - it could be dust from burrowing into the substrate. Haha funnily enough - one of my blueys just sneezed as I'm writing this.

There's nothing to worry about.

if you hear any wheezing, see the eyes, nose, and mouth frothing/bubbling, or see him raising his head up almost like it's a hassle to breathe - you may have a problem, however - don't look for things that arent there. If it is just the sneezing - It's nothing.

Also - Hisses are not wheezing!!!

I always get a secret little thrill and a smile when my boy sneezes. It is just the cutest noise. :wink:
