Hey, I'm very new to keeping tortoises and have recently bought 2 baby horsefield tortoises, which the (trusted) shop that I bought them from said they were about 6 months old. I have had them for nearly a month and have had no problems as such. However this morning I noticed the slightly larger of the 2 bite the other ones shell and as she(persuming) tried to get away he(persuming) followed her and bit the back of her shell too, when I saw them a few minutes later the one who was biting was in the corner by the heating bulb whereas the smaller one was halfway down the viv... I dont know if this is terretorial or just playful in some way - any help would be great x
As far as I am aware they are hatchlings, and as they are so small they are currently sharing a 4ft by 2ft viv, which i am planning to upgrade as they grow
