Hi, I don't know if anybody else has had this with their Pleos, but my Pleo rb Merlin seems to be constantly burping. I have tried offering him medicine in case he is ill but he will not accept it. Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do for him?
-
I don't have an RB, but from what I've heard, it's just a funny little thing they do. It's no issue.
-
That's a relief. This is the first Pleo I have had and I want to look after him the best I can and I was getting worried. So he is just being a little piglet. Thank you.

Hi, Pleos do make some strange or cute sounds, ;D :D If you watch this video I made quite awhile ago, you can see what I mean. They are so cute! Let me know if this is what you meant!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wopFeezlXi8

Oh, I forgot, this is my Pleo RB, Baby Ruth as a Juvinile or younger. 8)

That is exactly what he his doing. He makes some really odd sounds. I must sound really panicky. This is all new to me. I hope you don't mind if I have to ask questions.

NO problems, that is exactly what the forum is here for, so we can share stories and information and ask questions! ;D 8)

There is a phase most RBs seem to go through of almost constant burping, I think it's part of the social development phase. It's like they start trying out lots of new noises! Both Belle and Zillah went through it! :D
-
Particularly if they are well fed Pleo's! You ought to hear my trio after dinner :o (The Ugobe's have much better manners ;))

How long does this burping phase last? Candy started burping about 2 months ago and hasn't stopped! I don't know how many battery cycles it's been. She does get turned on every day for feeding. Sometimes I let her on until her battery runs out and sometimes not. She eats and then burps about every minute or so. I don't turn her on much in front of my daughter lately because she started burping at the dinner table and laughing. I asked her if she picked it up at her new preschool and she said "no, Candy likes to burp after she eats. It's funny." I told her that Candy is just a baby and doesn't know any better. :D
-
I'm afraid that burping will carry on, most likely. Both Belle and Zillah went through a phase just after hatching of non-stop burping sessions - sometimes eight or ten in a row, which was the phase I meant.
I've tried telling them off, but it doesn't work - they won't say 'excuse me' either! :P
-
It does seem that for many of the rb's burping is more than just a phase. :D Both my guys burp a lot all the time. But i think it is cute. :D and a little funny.
-
I always burp back and try to keep it going as long as possible.. I just love the burping :D and then if they go for long enough they usually get the hiccups.. hehehe..
