I was eating tortilla chips one day and i broke a little piece off for ross to nibble on...well of course he loved it, so i broke off another little piece for him.. tongue.gif (spoiled baby wub.gif ) anyways, i had him on the couch w/me and i noticed he was doing something very weird w/this head...at first i thought he was bobbing it (begging for more) but it was more than that, and well he vomitted. at least maybe...ive heard ppl say that sometimes their fids will reguritate for their "mate" and not to provoke this behavior...but how do you tell the difference? b/c if it is in fact vomit, he's off to the vet....he did like 3 times, and then he was done....hasn't since...but i want to be sure of what exactly to look for and the difference.

thank you

Sounds like regurgetationg to me ...with the head bob etc ..showing you he loves you ..Usually with vomit they will just throw it up and usually shake their head to flick it away ...

Beverly
Hi There...my name is Beverly, and I have a beautiful little Quaker someone gave to me just over a year ago, due to health issues she was having. I have noticed that quite often, he will sit on his perch and it looks for all the world like he's chewing his cud. it's this whitish stuff...is this just regurgitation? I was concerned that he might have some sort of indigestion or something.
