Default Worried, possible RI

Hi guys, I have had my new Irian Jaya for just over 2 weeks now. She has taken three feeds from me and seems very lively and healthy when being held. I did notice when I first had her that I could hear a very slight squeaking or wheezing when she breathed. I therefore read everything I could on RI's just to make sure. I havent noticed it since then till today, I have just had her out and she seems to have this slight wheezing or squeaking back to her breathing. It isnt loud at all and I can only hear it when I bring her close to my face, she also doesn't seem to do it alot, say every three or four breathes.
Now I have raised her temps to 90 at the hot end and 81 at the cool end, she seems to pick and choose where she wants to be and is hardly ever in the same spot twice in a row.
Now she has not got any of the other symptons at all and is eating very well.
Should I be worried and book a vets appointment to be sure or not?

Thanks

Hmm sometimes boids make a puff when they move due to increased body weight but a vet check never goes amiss and always better to be safe than sorry.
