My small baby tortoise (about 5 months old) always makes baby sounds, very similar to human baby sounds. I thought at first maybe she is cold or something, but no, even when she was warm or very sound asleep she would t hose sounds. It is extremely adorable!!! and it makes me relax. Anyone else experienced the same thing?
She also loooooooveeees looking out windows, it is her favourite passtime, she can do it for hours.

Noises are generally not a normal thing and could be a sign of a respiratory issue.
Can you describe it in more detail? Maybe also include photos of your enclosure and the tortoise itself?

She makes a lot of them when she is asleep at different time intervals. (Not in a row like the video)
Just for the context the video was taken after she had a soak in warm water

I'm no expert but that sounds like partially blocked nasal passages. I squeak like that when I have a cold sometimes.
What are the temps in her enclosure?
