My tortoise for the past few weeks has been whistling every couple breaths, doesn’t struggle to breath, no discharge in nose/eyes/mouth, no lethargy, eating always, and poops and urates are perfect. I know he is a messy eater and I give him tortoise pellets mixed in his green once in a while and I’m wondering if some got stuck up his nose. I can’t see anything when I look, but I can’t think of anything else it could be. Heat is great (basking is around 98 and ambient is about 85) I’ve been keeping a ceramic heat emitter on at night to keep it around 80 in case it was a URI but it hasn’t done anything with the whistling. Has anyone else randomly had a tortoise start whistling with no signs of illness?
Also to note: I don’t use super dusty substrate I use reptibark, and keep it damp on the bottom layer so he can dig for his humidity as how he needs.
