I have two females and one male who moved into my garden about 4 years ago. I have left them alone other than putting water out for them. I have started putting food out now as well because of the drought so the weeds which I have let grow in the garden for them are not as luscious as before. Anyway they have lived in peace for all these years but for some reason in the last two weeks I have found the older female on her back. The first time I didn't think anything about it. But today she was on her back again and he was next to her. When I put her right he started bumping her straight away, like he was trying to turn her over again. Does anybody know why he would be doing this to her all of a sudden? And what should I do? I think that I might have to build them seperate enclosures but I am hoping that, that won't be necessary as it will then cut their roaming space down, which I really would prefer not to have to do. However their health is more important so if that is the only way then that is what I will do. Anyway if anyone could possibly give a reason that would be great.
