    Concerned about my albino

    I have a female albino weighing about 200g right now temps and humidity are spot on. About 6 inches from her head down are a pinkish tone, she has had perfect sheds and eats every 5 days never misses a meal, very active at night. I just had her out and every once and a while I hear a very faint squeak but not all the time, no mucus or anything, last shed was March 13 and been on about 45 day shed period.. She doesn't chill with her head propped up or anything. Seems to be breathing just fine. Should I keep a eye on her or take her in

    If you hear something when she's breathing, go see a vet. Sometimes no treatment is ok if it is almost nothing, but in a baby I wouldnt wait another day.

    Was she in her water dish when you got her out or was she around water by chance? When their head gets wet a lot of time you get a little whistle for a few minutes

    Once I turn the lights out she's everywhere I took a closer look at her almost looks like some Eco earth in one of her nostrils.. I think I'm going to talk to the breeder I got her from and see if he can give me a opinion since he's been around them a lot longer then I have and if I need a vet appointment see what he recommends..
