If you think your tortoise needs a friend just buy him a safe rubber duck.He may even cuddle with it mine does!
Ok. That is perfectly fine. I was just wandering. I have now built a 5 foot by 2 1/2 foot tortoise table. Thanks for the help!My red foot tortoise is very happy only having me as her sole companion, I think tortoises like snakes & lizards ain't sociable animals to each other. They enjoy human company more because we pet them & feed them & not seen as hustle competitors, I agree you will have to keep them separated to avoid seeing each other most of the time & only bring them together each day for short periods under your attention.
There are 208 posts in this thread above yours. Did you read any of them?Hello! I’m new here and I have a 4 year old Russian tortoise named Molly. I am planning to build a big tortoise table soon. If when I build the table do you think it would be ok if I got another female Russian to go in with her?
Oh holy Sh*t Tom, omg, seriously, that came out of left field. I thought it would be your normal humid hide lecture, where I would scroll down thru that part to the end. I am standing and bow to a master of sub oh crap, I lost my glasses. Oh god, I just can't stop laughing. 1-2-3 Yea TomThere are 208 posts in this thread above yours. Did you read any of them?

The title of this thread and every post in it is about NOT keeping tortoises in pairs.I’m sorry. I’m new here and I’m still trying to figure out the website a little bit.

Those ramped water bowls are tortoise death traps. You should replace it with a terra cotta saucer sunk into the substrate.Ok. It’s ok. Here are some photos of her table.
Thank you! Again I’m still new here and figuring out how it works. I forgive you 100% ?The title of this thread and every post in it is about NOT keeping tortoises in pairs.
I apologize for my rudeness, and will be more kind when answering your future posts.
Oh wow! I was about to too but then I decided to ask here first just in case!Thank you for posting this! l was about to get another tortoise for Sheldon because he was "lonely" lmao
Thank you! ?Before joining this very knowledgeable and informative tortoise forum, I too was completely ignorant of tortoise behaviours. I never have imagined they would be so aggressive toward each other as a species, the pet shop where I bought my beautiful red foot tort tried to convince me to buy a pair of them but I'm glad I refused. It is human nature to think when an animal like tortoises are alone they're lonely by themselves, but my tort is very happy with just me.
Really? She seems to be able to get in and out perfectly fine? There is only an extremely thin amount of water in it too. Also since I posted those photos I have switched out the substrate closest to the lights with coco choir and added a few new decorations.Those ramped water bowls are tortoise death traps.

Yes. Really. I don't recommend learning this lesson the hard way.Really? She seems to be able to get in and out perfectly fine? There is only an extremely thin amount of water in it too.

Hi. How do you maintain humidity and temperature levels in that very nice enclosure?Really? She seems to be able to get in and out perfectly fine?
