Skittles likes to bring up his food again

Postby viki » Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:52 am

:senegal: Iv had my sene 2 weeks now and iv noticed he does someting absolutely disgusting. Iv checked it on google and youtub but no one has anyhing to say about it so im not sure is it normal. He likes to stick his claws back his throat and bring up his food and eat it again. Not only is it disgusting and stomach wrenching to see but im also afraid encase his scatches the inside of his throat and causes an infection. At first i thought he was hungry but he will choose to do that rather then eat his food or have a drink. Can anyone tell me why he does this? is it normal? and how can i stop it?
Thanks in advance

Since no one has replied... I haven't heard of them sticking their foot in their beak like that, but regurgitation is usually a courting/mating behavior. Does he do it only in some circumstances, like to a favorite toy or you?
