Chip is about 5 years. When we got him 3 years ago the owner said that he was roughly around 2 yearss old. He is now around 9-10 inches.
My question: How old are redfoots when they sexually mature? First of all, I have seen him stand kind
of funny in his enclosure and his tortoise boy parts come out and move all over the place. He now eats 2x a day and devors all of his food. He eats a diet of greens, fruit, veggies and mazuri tortoise diet. He devours his food every day.
Question 2: Chip has been trying to escape his outdoor enclosure lately. There have been a couple of times when he just kept pushing his fence and pushing until he is able to lift it or move the panel. He has never tried to do that before. I am trying to figure out ways to double secure the cage panels. Is there a reason he keeps doing this?''
Finally, Would it help him to have another tortoise (not necessisarily a female) to keep him from being too bored?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
