My three R/F don't generally hang out together much, but, I've been doing some major out door pen make overs and placed them together in a smaller out door pen yesterday because the crazy Florida weather decided to be 82 degrees!
It's been in the 50s.
I observed my larger male, who is about 5 years old backing up and pushing my smaller female/male who is about 3 into the side of the pen and almost had her/him flipped over.
These two have been together for days...even weeks before with no problems that I have ever seen.
Could this mean that maybe these are both male and the larger one is becoming a more aggressive adult?
The large pen is ready and I'll keep them apart. (The baby, the 3rd tortoise, already lives alone.)
