I've had my Hermann tortoises for just over a year. I was told that I had a male and a female but I think they are both males. One is more aggressive to the other one. Just trying to mate all the time. I separate into another habitat when the smaller one appears to have had enough, running away constantly. I'm thankful for this forum.

It’s good that you separated them. They don’t recommend housing two together. Constant bullying is inevitable..
Hope the smaller one recovers soon!

Keep them separated, do not put the smaller one back in with domestic violence going on. Bullying can be fatal.
