There must be some distance of separation at which the lone males will be unable to detect the females, but I have yet to discover it. Does anyone successfully keep reproductively active males and females of any breed of African tortoise separated on the same property without the males stressing terribly? This is a stressful time of year for my males who want badly to breed, one particular sulcata will pace his wall and go on hunger strike, digging and moaning and humping a sandbag in his pen in efforts to quell his tortoise urges. It is awful for me (so probably much worse for him!) but I can not seem to help him find peace. If you house them separately and have no such issues I would love to know this distance between your pens/pastures/enclosures. As always, thanks for your input : )
