One of my northern redfoots is about 1.5 years old and has always made a squeak noise when it drinks or eats wet food. At first I was extremely nervous and contacted the breeder to let him know he made this noise, I also posted a thread on here( unfortunately the thread got combined with another i made regarding another tortoise of mine). I did get some responses saying it was a normal thing and not to worry so long as the tortoise didn't show any other signs of illness. He didn't show anything else, he eats fine, drinks and soaks himself in the water dish all the time and thermo regulates just fine. However now he makes the noise often even without eating or drinking and when he does he pulls his head back into his shell and opens and closes his mouth repeatedly making an almost grinding/squeaking noise. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Also I have video of it but cannot figure out how to post it. Is there a way to post video?
