My horsefield tortoise Percy is around 5 months old and I've had him for around three.
He is very healthy normally, we have him in a large tortoise table with a UV and heat bulb.
Recently he has been very sleepy and off his food so we have tried mixing up his diet to include more vegetables and the occasional small bit of apple or pear as a treat.
It's quite late (1:30 am) at the moment but I could hear some weird noises like squeaking.
Percy should be asleep but I went over to him and held him to see if it was him.
He pushed his neck really far out and out and made the noise again. Since then he has been doing it a lot.
While I was holding him his back legs moved so they was vertical (going up if that makes sense??) and he wasn't moving at all, he didn't even seem to blink for what felt like a minute then re made that noise.
I know have him soaking in water in attempt to encourage him to drink.
I have never heard him do this before is this normal???
