My Tortoise was stressed by the giant Haboob and rain coming in AZ, recently. He climbed in the house. He paces in the back yard looking for higher ground many hours before it rains. He senses the pressure change. They can hold their breath but don’t want to.

I’m trying not to startle him with my shadow. My voice doesn’t scare him. He needs to hydrate.
