Hello! I am new to tortoise owning so all of the little things freak me out haha.
this morning I was watching Rudder eat and it yawned 3 times. He’s a yearling and I’ve seen conflicting information on yawning. Some things I’ve read said it’s a sign of upper respiratory but he doesn’t have anything coming from eyes or nose.
He has also been furrowing for the past 2 days which hasn’t been normal for him but I just assumed it’s because he is getting more comfortable.
any advice or things to calm me down would be greatly appreciated!
