I have a juvenile hippo that I've had for about 4 months now.
He's doing great but he has one bizarre behavior - after he eats, he continuously heads up to the surface and grabs some air.
After a while he looks like he swallowed a marble and has trouble swimming properly.
The first time I saw him I was worried he would die.
But he does this night after night - almost like it's a game.
Every morning, he's his normal looking self; I'm not sure if he burps or farts out the air.
Anyone else ever seen this behavior?
Thanks.
