         It’s another Logan mystery!  He’s such a complicated little guy.  Today I heard a really strange noise when he was drinking.  I thought it was my neighbors, but when I got closer to the cage, I realized it was coming from Logan.  He was drinking out of their water bottle (they also have a bowl, but he doesn’t usually drink from it) and he was making a gurgling noise, sort of like a tummy growl.  I was thinking that maybe he was getting too much air when he was drinking.  I’ve never heard that noise come from Bailey when she drinks.  Is this normal/okay?

          Oh, yes, it’s fine.
          It’s so funny because I am on line here and in the background I am hearing Sammy drinking from her water dish. Why? Because she gulps and makes tiny licking noises and gulping, swallowing noises and just generally is loud with water. Spockie was too. It’s normal.

              Phew, thanks guys! I’ve been on super-alert with him, and anything he does that’s different than what Bailey does makes me nervous! I think he’ll be glad to have me stop hovering

                Something funny I noticed about the drinking gurgling sound…all my lops have always done it. My other non-lops don’t. Weird.

                  FWIW, my lop doesn’t make any sounds drinking, bottle or dish.  I want to hear this gurgling sound!

                    Gwydionn ATTACKS his waterbottle.

                    He likes to knock it around his cage and then pull the tube and let the bottle smack back into place. (and i checked, it gives him water just fine, he just likes to make noise.)
