Is his tummy grumbling?

[MichaelBoyko]

A few times in the past month I've been holding my Amel corn (Nippy, that's his name) and he's been prone to a sort of tummy growl, or grumble... sometimes to the point where he feels like he's shaking.

Any ideas? Should I be worried?

Thanks!

Mine sometimes trembles very mildly when I'm holding him, but I've noticed if I change the way I hold him, he stops. In my case, I'm pretty sure it's a muscular thing. He tries to move then starts to shake JUST a bit, and if I upen up my hand more he can move more freely and the trembling stops (or of course it gets worse if he tries to keep going and I don't change my grip). I do hear a noise when he does this.

If not that... maybe he has gas? lol

he's prolly tellin you: let me down, or a load is coming...he's warning you!! LOL..im just kidding. i never heard of that. is it like,he rattles his tail at the same time????

Nope, no rattling, just a slight vibrating... I think the only way to discribe it is a shutter, maybe? But he doesn't visibly move... Kind of like what I sound like inside when I have gas 8-P

Any ideas? I hope it's not serious.

Thanks again for your help.
