    Very concerned tort owner

    They are approx 2 and a half Years old so too young to tell! Unfortunately separate enclosures are not possible at the moment! I feel I may need to rehome tiny, I can't risk her/him becoming poorly :(

    Rehoming one of my torts??

    Now I'm debating whether to re home one of my Russian torts... He/she seems to always bite my other one and at first I wasn't too concerned as it was only at meal times so I bought two separate dishes and feed them separate, however he's just bit him again without being near food and on the leg...
