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 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 .
