Hi, I have a female, 9-10 year old African Sulcata Tortoise and recently, she's been wheezing/making slight whistling sounds about once or twice an hour, but only at night, when she is usually sleeping (I have never heard her make this noise before). I am not quite sure if she is asleep, but she normally is. This has been happening for the past 2 nights in a row, and when I do hear these noises, sometimes she stirs a little. She is usually inside of her a little house, so I cannot really check to see whether or not she is asleep without picking her up. I also believe that recently, just once, I heard her make a loud sound that almost sounded like crying?
Other than that, she is very normal, extremely active during the day (I don't hear these noises during the daytime), and she eats a lot. However, she has not defecated for about 2-3 days now.
Besides that, I read on some forums that this noise could be that she has a respiratory infection, so I am a bit worried.
