This is my first post so apologies if I do this wrong.
I have a Hermann's tortoise which I have had for about 28 years. Recently my dad bought a big stone tortoise for the garden and my tortoise is becoming obsessed with it. He always goes and lies next to it and puts his head on it. Sometimes he tries to climb on it as if he wants to mate.
I'm not sure whether I am being helpful by leaving it in the garden with him or whether it's cruel. What do you guys think?
