Hi. Im a first time tortoise owner (Call me Ben) and I live in the UK
I got my Hermanns tortoise "Sherman" a year ago for my birthday, and he's been fine. I just noticed recently that he's squeaking and whistling sometimes. His squeaking is kind of a rarity, but i hear a faint whistling when he breathes. I searched online and common questions are if there is discharge from the eyes or nose (none visible) or about their diet. Sherman eats leafy greens that i always check are okay using the app "tortoise table" on my phone.I also sprinkle calcium powder on his foods sometimes to ensure he has a healthy nutrient intake. Overall he seems fine, all i know he doesn't like is baths which seems common amongst other baby tortoises (he's under a year old) any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
