Introducing my leopard torts to the forum

[TortieMoonshade]

Our smaller brown male, Scooter and our bigger more colourful female, Phoenix. Both rescued from squatter camps and living a life of luxury now ^~^

They are lovely. As you have been advised, they should be separated...I know, easier said than done. Is it possible to make the area that doesn't have the pool bigger by moving the fence or doing something else, then separating this area into two sections with one tortoise in each separate enclosure? Expanding the tortoise area and so, reducing the pool area?

Hmm, I never thought of that. We can't move the fence but I think we can seperate the area into two sections.

Thank you I will see if I can figure something out ^~^

You do need to figure something out. It's not if they will bully stress each other. It's already happening.
Many of us would love to keep pairs. It's just not possible. It's easier for you to have one enclosure but it could kill them!

Ok! Please keep us posted. I love Leopard tortoises! There are others on this forum who know a great deal more about them than I do, and I hope they will soon be along too.

I do know that now, thank you
