My sulcata button earlier made a squeaking sort of noise when I rubbed alittle water on his shell when I checked his nose it didn’t have any discharge and I haven’t noticed any trouble in him breathing but should I be worried I changed his set up a few months ago because I was informed on how to properly care for him what could be the cause of this and should I be worried?

Completely normal - funny thing is just this morning I was brushing my teeth when I hear this bird chirp sound. Sure, it could of been outside, but it sounded like it was in her room and when I went in to check on my sulcata Kiwi she did it again - this time shorter and higher. I don't think it is anything to worry about and one thing's for sure: It's adorable! ? ☺

Check your temps and make sure the coldest part of the enclosure during the coldest nights is over 80 degrees. Maybe even bump temps up a few degrees to be sure. 80 is the minimum. 84-85 is good too, as a low.
