I hate to be the one to say it, but now that you have a pair, they need to be separated. While tortoises often do fine in groups because the stress is spread out and they are able to establish a pecking order, in pairs, there is always a dominant and a subordinate, and neither can escape. One is constantly being bullied, and the other can’t get the intruder out of it’s territory.
You could possibly add more in more tortoises to fix it, but they would all have to be separated during the quarantine period, and they would all have to be similar sizes.
Well avared of this. They come from same source, from two clutches and will keep them together until i see that one is dominating other or new ones come in. This should be realized in a month and yes sure they will be separated.
Plus we woork from home so they are allways on watch
