One of my little yearling red foots has started chirping. It sounds kind of like a rain frog. It's adorable! Does anyone else's do this?

I don't keep Redfoots, but if that was one of my desert type tortoises I'd be watch for an URTI...
do Redfoots usually make noise?

Yes juveniles sometimes chirp or cluck. Adult males will also sometimes during mating. Yellow foots do it too. I'm just wondering if anyone else's on this forum chirp sometimes. ☺️
A few of mine chirp. They only really make the sounds at night and occasionally when eating. The chirps reduced in frequency when they turned about a year old but I still hear it every once in a while.
Yeah, mine seems to do it mostly at night too.

Yeah my one red foot made clucking noises back in the day when I first bought him many years ago. Out of my 4 Redfoots, he was the only one that really made the noises. However, I have read on here many other redfoot owners had the same thing with the clucking noises.
I hear these noises from my torts every now and then. A few f them make it more than others, it is cute! I will mimic that sound they make back to them during their soaks and they all turn and look at me. I wonder what I'm saying to them? Lol. 
This is completely normal, mine make noises often. It seems provoked when I give them a treat (fruit) or something is agitating/frightening them. As far as tortoises go, redfoots can be consider chatter boxes .
