Hi All!
I recently joined a Facebook group related to Greek tortoises (I have one 10 year old Mesopotamian Greek). I thought it would be interesting/fun to see others’ Greeks.
Earlier today, I saw a post regarding two single digit months old Greeks who are housed together and one is growing faster than the other by enough that it’s noticeable. The owner is concerned about why this could be happening (ie is something wrong with the littler one). I responded that they are not social creatures and that they shouldn’t be housed together (as I remember reading that repeatedly on here and have read on here that one could be dominant over the other and eating more than it’s fair share).
Apparently, I’m very wrong and this person’s research shows that torts love being together and prefer to be around each other. I’m relatively new to the tort world and have been wondering if I misread something and responded incorrectly. Can someone please let me know?
For clarification, my tort is my one and only and I have zero plans to get more at any time.
