OK,I am on a septic tank and yes they started about the same time.More on the toilet farthest from the outlet,the other 1 is closer to the outlet going into the septic.Redid the ball/cock and water system in both toilets.

Ok I don't think the problem is the vent tubes I would say the septic tank is full and needs to be pumped out. A full septic will cause the problem your having.
