Ok, here goes one of my weird questions. As you may know, i have recently received several new torts. We are going through the quarantine process, so they are all separated in tubs. They are all in the same room.
So, in the last couple days since i added the two new girls, i have noticed a couple of them seem to be talking??? I have heard the croaks and sqeeks they make before, so the sound isnt unusual. (One of my torts is a real talker, always croaking at me). What is unusual is the frequency of it, as before it was occassional...but now with the new girl in the room, it happens a lot now.
My question is, even though they are in separate tubs, do they know each other are there?....furthering that, is it likely they are communicating via this "talking"? It really seems like an active conversation going on, its kinda cool.
Sorry if this is a reduliculous question, if it is please excuse me, im still a newbie and tort group dynamics and behavior are very new to me.
Thanks as always
