I have a Russian tortoise that I've had for a little over two years now ( not sure how old it is). He keeps making these really weird squeaking noises for no apparent reason. He has been fed already and has plenty of water. He's just sitting in his enclosure making these noises for about 15 minutes now. He's never really done this before so how can I help him?

Russian Tortoise Care Sheet
Russian tortoises have great personalities, are very hardy, tolerate a wide variety of enclosure parameters, stay small, and are generally a good "starter" tortoise in my opinion. Here is how I like to set them up: Indoor Enclosure type and size: Most people want to know the minimum size...

Sometimes squeaks and breathing sounds are signs of a respiratory infection.
Does he have any bubbles coming from his nose?
Is he active and eating well?
Check your temps in his enclosure. Is he warm enough? Are you keeping him in a humid enclosure?
The care sheet linked above is good, but it has been updated. Here is the new one. Check it for proper temps.

He didn’t have any bubbles coming from his nose and he has been fairly active and he eats well. His behavior has been normal before last night and since then he seems fine. Temps are usually in the 70s and I can’t get them any higherSometimes squeaks and breathing sounds are signs of a respiratory infection.

if you can avoid shots please do so.
just try to get meds and advice.
Then come on here and ask if the meds are good.
I got my tortoise a vitamin A shot once and her leg has not been the same. It has a lump in it.. shots are not good.
Be careful.
I am saying prayers for you tonight all goes well at the doctors tomorrow. ?❤️
He/she will be just fine.. don’t worry ..
Thanks for the advice and prayers. I actually talked to Tom from this site and I made the decision to cancel the poointement because he’s acting as he would normally and hasn’t make any weird noises.
