I recently purchased another young hermann's tortoise. I was told by a breeder (not the breeder I bought this new one from) that you can keep hermann's together in groups. So I put my new little one with my other one to see what they would do. (I still plan on quarantining, it was more just to see how they would react to each other) The older one started trying to bite him on the legs and head. I separated them immediately, but is this normal young tortoise behavior? I thought that was adult males fighting over females behavior. My other one is maybe a year old if that. I'm willing to have them in separate enclosures, but this came really as a shock to me.
