Hello, this is my first post on the forum, though I've been reading it for a long time.

So I just got my hedgie today and it's 2:20 am here now. He's been exploring his cage and stuff like normal, but suddenly he started making like a sniffing/exhaling noise and he's constantly licking either his nose, or the air.

Is this a bad thing? He's eating food and everything in the meantime, but he still does the licky breathing thing. What should I do? Is this normal?

Thanks for the help.

Well I'm pretty sure he wasn't huffing at me since he was just walking around his cage exploring :D . It's hard to describe the sound but he did it for about 10 minutes and then stopped.

Thanks for the help!
