Hello, I have had my 1-year old Hermann’s Tortoise for about 2 months. I purchased her from Petco because she seemed miserable and constantly scratched along the side of her enclosure, and it broke my heart. We got her a standard enclosure that had closed sides, and filled it with all the good stuff, but she continued to scratch along the side. We got her a larger enclosure with partially clear sides, but she just continues to scratch along the side. She climbs everything we put in her enclosure as though trying to get out. When I put her in the bathtub for some free crawling/swimming, she just tries to climb the sides. When I let her run free on a sheet on the floor, she tries to run away.
She is obviously unhappy, and has always been. We have rocks and treat balls, etc. but nothing makes her happy.
We are desperate…we want her to be comfortable, happy, and content…it’s why we took her on in the first place…but we are out of ideas. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thank you!!!
