My redfoot making weird noise

[flovdome]

I just get my redfoot less than a week and it size 6cm. I notice it making weird noise at a random time, sometimes it longer other time it short and also sometimes whenever i tried to pick him for sunbathing.

Is he okay?

I'm sorry.
I don't hear anything.
Hopefully someone else will have a theory soon.

It's like a tick noise at the beginning of the video.

I don't hear anything concerning.
Just be sure all your temps and humidity is correct according to this forum, not any of the other places you might have researched.
Also be sure to read those temps with a digital thermometer not those disc type ones.

If it's about the "clicks" at the beginning of video - they are usual for redfoots. I still haven't figured out, what do they mean, though (could be anything from "I'm super-excited" and "Hell, I'm so scared" to mating sounds).

I see, so there is no problem with my redfoot. I'm so scared that somethings is wrong with my redfoot. For now i just keep watch him.
Thank you for the information.

With proper husbandry he should be fine. He needs to be kept warm (82-84F, day and night) and humid (80-90%). With enough shade and hides and mild heating (no basking zones over 88F).

Here is a few useful links on tortoise care:
1. Very good basic care information: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/info-for-new-people-please-read-this-first.202363/
2. This is "unofficial" care sheet for Redfoots, but it mostly in line with "official" care sheets for other species: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/redfoot-tortoise-care-sheet.175319/
3. Dietary plans for omnivores (other site sections are worth reading as well): https://tortoiselibrary.com/nutrition-2/diet-plans-omnivore/

Please, come back with questions if any arise.
