You have a very sick animal. Please see a vet as soon as possible. This is FAR beyond first aid.

Sick tortoise
by: Shelly

Without knowing all the conditions, all I can say is to keep the two animals apart so they don't both get sick. Be sure you have followed all the care requirements for your star tortoise.

See http://www.tortoisetrust.org/care/celegans.html

Keep it slow and steady.

Bubbles
by: Shelly

A tortoise or turtle with bubbles coming out of its nose has a respiratory infection. That tortoise or turtle probably needs to see a vet.

Keep it slow and steady.

Nope!
by: Beth

Don't worry your tortoise isn't sick. Mine does that alot too and I've put it down to him jus breathing whilst I hold him or he does the same head bobbing thing when he has a drink as well, so he may just be swallowing. Hope this helps.
