Interesting, my black pastel het hypo female is a "squeaker" when she gets excited or stressed. A few times I've thought she was starting an RI, especially since she did have one early this year so I'm a bit paranoid about checking her, but since getting over the last one she's never exhibited any of the other symptoms like bubbles, mucus, lying with the nose pointed up the wall, excessive yawning, etc.Originally Posted by Pythonfriend
a while ago in a thread i noticed that several people have cinnamons / black pastels / super cinnamons / super black pastels that are, well, a bit melodic.
it may be that because of the altered skull shape the wheezing / squeaking / whistling happens more often in cinnamon / black pastel.
apart from that, there always is the usual randomness in all natural and living things.
As for the OP, the initial reaction to either a bad shed or a potential RI is pretty much the same - increase the humidity and wait a day or two to see what happens.
