: Try putting a dish in their cage they can soak in. Some torts will not drink if you stand there and watch them, drinking puts them in a vulnerable position. The wheezing could be lack of humidity. Are there any bubbles coming out of either torts nose when they quickly withdraw into their shell(like if you tap them on the nose)?

I have a dish in one corner but they never go in it. I've tried tapping them on there nose but they won't withdraw back into there shell quickly. They just pull back slowly.
