Pacing

[Boogeyman]

Is it normal for tortoises to do alot of pacing around the fencing... ours is wooden so our tortoise can't see what's on the otherside... just curious.

It's what they do. In the wild they wander over great distances. They're hard wired to do that. So in a pen, they pace the perimeter. They can't help themselves. Doesn't matter if he's well fed. Doesn't matter if it's a large pen. It's just what they do.

I figured... this little brat has the whole yard to him/her self. Just wanted to make sure... thanks as always Yvonne
