Hello
I've few question about breeding/mating for tortoises, I've a male greek tortoise and I'm not sure of his age but his picture is in my avatar so you can see the size, now my questions..
1-Is there an age or proper size for mating?
2-I was told mating seasons (or when they want to mate) are always at the end of summer or start of spring, is this true?
3-My male one keeps trying to hump things sometimes which makes me think he wants to mate, is this a sign indeed?
4-As I said on 3, when he does things that makes me think he might wanna mate, I did look for a female turtles and I found one at a friend's house so we sent him there couple of times and he just stood there looking at her and did nothing, does this mean he is still young for mating maybe or this isn't normal?
5-Do males really have to mate? Because what if he just doesn't, can he take this energy somewhere else or its a must?
6-He is also not very sociable, he is very active at our place but when somewhere else or near other tortoises he doesn't move or do much, so can he live alone and be fine?
Thanks in advance
