I just brought home my 3 month-old Quaker baby and I'm wondering if one of his behaviors is normal baby behavior. About half the time I have him out, he'll make a purring/clucking type of noise (hard to describe- it's deep in his throat and sort of rumbly) and shake his head at me. I've looked online and haven't found anything that really references this. For some reason, I feel like he's trying to feed even though he's completely weaned and eating pelleted food. Anyone else have this sort of experience with their Quaker?

He is showing you how happy and contented he is ..I love the purring /growling noises they make so cute..

HELLO, I AM NEW TO THE SITE AND FIND ALL THE STORIES INTERESTING. ALTHOUGH I AM NEW TO THE BABY QUAKER, WE HAVE HAS ONE BEFORE.
MY QUAKER (TOBY) IS 12 WEEKS OLD THIS WEEK. THE ONLY NOISE HE MAKES IS GRINDING HIS BEAK. I LOVE THE SOUND, I HEARD THAT WHEN THEY DO THIS IT MEANS THEY ARE CONTENT. UNFORTANETLY SINCE I JUST GOT HIM ON 7/23/08 WE HAVE YET TO REALLY BOND. SO ANY HAPPY NOISE HE MAKES, MAKES ME HAPPY.
