Vet Visit? by: Emily
Hi Brionni! It may just be something she's eaten, obviously i am NOT an expert, but i would get her to the vets for a check over. Try and take a stool sample with you, as that is what they will need to assess Holly! (don't know how easy that will be!)
We both wish her well, let me know how she recovers! em x

Hissing... by: Emily
Hi! I did a little research as I was worried about mine (Cassius!) and I found out that when they pull themselves into their shell, either when they're scared or startled, there isn't room for as much air in their lungs so the soft hiss is an expulsion of air. As long as it's not gurgly there are no signs of ill health! Hope this helps! How big is yours? I bought Cassius as a juvenile but no idea how old he actually is!

Hissing by: Anonymous
Hissing is just a tortoise's way of telling you to leave her alone when she's feeling a bit grumpy. Mine hisses at me every time I pull her out of her haystack when she's trying to sleep. It's nothing to worry about.
