Merauke BTS: Breathing question

Postby ChungMok » Mon May 28, 2018 9:16 pm

Hi guys, I just got a Merauke about 3 weeks ago and its been eating fine and drinking well. I noticed recently that it takes deeper breaths, I might just be paranoid because I dont have a clue on how they normally breath... Could anyone give me their opinions or post a video. Anything will help. Hes being kept at around 80% humidity. I have a video linked of it breathing, i hope it helps. So far no discharge and I cant hear any obstruction when it breathes.

I had the same problem at first with my meraukee. If he is holding these deep breaths, it may mean that he is stressed, and puffing himself up.
