my yearling redfoot Toast likes to tell me the most exciting stories while he is enjoying his food This is normal right? Sometimes he never shuts up and wakes me during the night
What type of noise, exactly?
Other than males clucking while attempting to mate, I've never heard many unusual sounds from mine.
So just off the bat, I'd have to say no. Not normal.
Noises while breathing or eating might be a respiratory issue.
(What do you think @Anyfoot )
There is one other active thread going on at this moment with another keeper who's tortoise makes noises.
My suggestion to both of you is find a good veterinarian and visit them soon.
We're just guessing here.
