Moaning?? Concerned..

[Tony the tank]

I'm sitting in the room adjacent to Tonys enclosure.. And I can hear him moaning through the wall every now and then..So I check on him and he is asleep until I wake him by looking into his hide..I'm a little concerned..

Is it normal for a sulcata to moan while sleeping??

Thanks in advance

Hi...is he aok in every other normal way? If so, I would think just keep an ear and eye open for anything tooooo out of the ordinary

Acting normal all day... He seems to moan a lot... Always does it when I soak him and he poops.. Moans when I pick him up...moans when he flashes..and now moaning while he sleeps...

The sleeping moaning has me a little concerned..I'll watch him throughout the night..

Tanner squeaks. I wonder if he will grow up to be a noisy tortoise too?

Some tortoises actually "moan" while they're pushing out feces. Its quite normal and nothing to worry about.
