Question
Hi I was just wondering what it means when your tort makes this huffing noise out of his nose?  It sounds like the nose we make when exhaling out our noses.  Any  idea?  Thanks

Answer
If it is a 'dry' huffing, it is just typical breathing noises. If it is wet or bubbly it might be a sign of respiratory illness.
