Hello All,
Haven't been around lately but LittleFoot (four in October) has been sneezing a little more this spring then I feel comfortable with.
Nose is clear and open. Never seem to have any residue after a sneeze but they've been sneezing about 3 to 5 times a day lately.
It is usually followed by a yawn or right after they eat.
I know that tortoises hide being sick. I also know they could have respitory issues but I also know they can sneeze like most other animals and im not certain if I'm over thinking it.
Attached a few photos of face and all of Littlefoot. I've also included photos of the enclosure we have for indoors as we are expanding their outdoor enclosure right now.
I do have 2 sulcatas but diglett (will be 4 in July) is not sneezing unless it's right after wating
Also before I forget diet.
They eat leafy greens like collard, dandelion leaves, red leaf lettuce, mustard greens. They also get a pellets from flukers and mizzuri.
Outaide they eat normal grass and untreated weeds. We are starting to wet Timothy and orchard hay as they are getting older and oer our vet can digest it better).
They get about 2 hours of sun every day supervised outside and about 30min lukewarm soaks daily as well. Poop and pee usually every day but no more than every other.
We've had them for about 1.5 years. They've been to the vet and have the 6th month check up in July. I can and will make one sooner if need to.
Thank you
Alicia
