I have 2 boars. Normally, Brego, the younger one, is very loud and active, and Shadowfax, the older one, is the quieter one. However, for the past 24 hours Brego hasn't been wheeking as much as he usually does. Typically, any time anyone talks to him or gives them food or hay he is wheeking up a storm and popcorning, but he hasn't been. Additionally, they live in a C&C cage with a loft, and Brego has been staying on the loft and not coming down except on occasion to drink and then he goes right back up. They get along and to my knowledge they have not gotten in any fights, although they did recently seem to officially settle on who was the dominant boar (it took them quite a while) and it is Shadowfax.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if this is reason for concern? Brego is still eating food and hay, drinking, pooping, peeing, sleeping, and putting his front paws on the cage so he can "stand up" to greet you when you come near the cage, just no wheeking and doesn't want to go downstairs. He has no visible signs of illness, although I know they hide it well. :\
