I noticed during his evening soak that Igloo sounds congested - perhaps not congested but I can definitely hear him making squeaks as he breathes. He is acting normally, eating like a pig but I did notice him blow a bubble out of one nostril...but that could have just been juice from the piece of squash he had all over his face.
He's eating spring mix, collards, and timothy hay. I'm trying to get him to eat some Mazuri but he hates it. I've soaked it with water, soaked it with water and sprinkled fruit juice on top, mixed it with apple sauce, mixed it with pumpkin, mixed it with squash pieces, mixed it with greens - nothing seems to tempt him. Any suggestions?
His basking temps are 95 and another spot at 110 - he uses both. His substrate is coir and hay. He has access to water, is also soaked every evening and misted with water in the mornings. The humidity is moderate at 40-50% so I don't think dehydration is an issue at this point. He is our only tortoise and we've had him 20+ days.
What is the best way to cure the sniffles if he continues to eat properly?
