I've never dealt with a RI before, so I'm not sure that this is what's going on.
My one male has been on a rampage trying to get out of his cage in order to get to females and as a result, he keeps tipping his water bowl.
Because of this I took his bowl away about a week and a half ago and have offered water every other day, but in the past couple of days he has started to make strange sounds, similar to the sound you make when you say "shush" to quiet someone. He's also sneezed a few times. I don't see any mucous or bubbles from the mouth or nose, no gaping of the mouth. I don't hear any clicking or popping.
Other than that he is acting as normal as can be. Eating, pooping, roaming his cage for females, etc.
Should I go ahead and give him his water back in case not having enough water is what's doing this? I don't want him to keep waterlogging his cage. Or at least offer water more often?
He's not due to shed. He just shed April 17, and he usually only sheds 3-4 times a year.
Should I just try to bump up the temp for a week or so and hope it goes away or should I go ahead and take him to a vet?
Thanks.
