Hi Everyone! New member to the forum. We have a 32 year old male tortoise named Tita (in my profile picture). We don't know what type of tortoise he is or even how to go about finding out what kind. My husband had his father but we don't know about the mother or anything. We don't take him to a vet because we are under the impression that tortoises are endangered and are afraid he will be taken away. Those are probably questions for another time. My question is this:
How do I introduce and acclimate a tortoise to a 10 year old male German Shepherd (Zeus)?
Now you should know that we don't have any other pets but Tita and he has the run of the apartment. We put him in the tub every other day (so he can drink and use the bathroom) but he basically thinks he owns the place. He can be viscious sometimes and his idea of play is toe biting! My husband is concerned that Tita will bite Zeus and draw blood.
Any ideas for us?
Thank you in advance!
