I just found out that I may have to also worry about squirrels as well as raccoons and rats threatening my tortoise. I don’t have any proof of this, but I just read a story of one eating a snake.

I have ground squirrels that eat my garden and dig holes all around my yard. They cannot dig their way into my tortoises burrow, but they surely walk down the pipe to the burrow. My dogs have killed them from time to time and I know they are living under my shed.
So has anybody ever heard of squirrels attacking or harming a tortoise?
