I extended and separated. My fighting torts enclosure but the attacker still bashed at the fence, and the victim still refused to eat and carried on trying to escape.
So I found a new home for one of them. Both happy now
That's true , but I didn't know that when I adopted them . Also they had been together for years , but when put into a new enclosure " mo " decided he was going to get " bolt " out.
He is now a very happy boy who love to wander round the lawn

I devived my enclosure but as they could still smell and see through the fence , they continued to try and fight. With both not eating and losing weight. Read my my post about what happened to us having two together. It was nearly death for one of them .
My boy used to keep escaping , he can climb and push almost anything out the way. I have made a lot of adjustments to keep him in. This is him wedged at the back of their pen . He climbed up a wall . Lol
