My sulcata tortoise “Tator” is 3.5 years old he weighs 5.5 pounds (2.35 kilos).
He whistles when he breathes... It’s been there since he was a baby but the larger he gets the louder the whistle is.
It is most noticeable when eating or after exercise... Its almost as if his nostrils aren’t big enough for when he needs to breathe more.
He doesn’t have a respiratory infection (unless they can have one for 3.5 years and still live)
No discharge from nostrils or eyes.
