I am trying to downsize the amount of containers/lights/etc and thought if I could put two of my Russians together, that would simplify things.
I have a female that my friend gave me last July. She has been alone ever since. I have a young male (I was told he is 6 years old) that I thought was a female up until I got flashed a couple months ago, LOL! He has also been kept alone. She is about 4 1/2 inches, he is a little fella, about 3 3/4 inches. I put them together just now and they immediately ran over and put their noses together and stayed like that for quite some time, then she started biting his legs and he started ramming her. They never would seperate even though the pen is big. They just kept circling each other and biting and ramming, so I took the male out.
Will I ever be able to put them together? Will they stop fighting after awhile or will they just hurt each other? I planned to put them outside together this summer, now I'm not sure I will be able.
I am having to travel some with my mom to her cancer treatments and was trying to simplify caring for all my animals to make it easier on the housesitter!
Any words of wisdom? Do I just have spoiled rotten tortoises?!? LOL
