So my tortoise is super outgoing and likes to get her head and neck petted. Back scratches. Etc.
And even when I give her her favorite food
( shrimp ) she will occasionally ignore it in favor of some petting. She will follow me around her tort table standing up on her front legs to look up at me. Then when I'm scratching her shell, she will rub her butt back and forth , or stick it up in the air? Hopefully she just likes a good back/ butt scratch...

Oh my god that is literally the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!! I’m sure that’s just normal behavior, so give your boi all the scritches and love!
