It seems to me that most of the FACEBOOK folks and most of our new members think that keeping pairs together is ok.
Or that an aquarium is a suitable enclosure to house multiple tortoises because they saw pictures of that behavior online.
I've had to leave one FACEBOOK group to save what is left of my sanity over issues that are just REDICULOUS.
There is still a lot of horrible, incorrect, harmful and just lazy information out there.
Let's keep this in mind when dealing with new members.
They might be coming here and finding out an almost overwhelming new bunch of information. Contradicting everything that they ever knew about correct tortoise keeping.
I hate when people get discouraged.
