Can tortoises recognize or learn their name. I know they cant come like a dog would but can they learn their name?

Enjoy.

When there are no people to follow, they follow each other (there are three of them, two Sulcatas and a Leopard)
My 8 month old Sulcatas come when I open their table top and they run around looking excited when I speak to them. My leopards couldn't care less. They hang out under their moss like pretty little rocks. The only reason I know they move is there is stuff in the water and the moss has been moved. Sometimes I will catch one or two of them eating leftovers when I go to remove the old food and put in new food.

Man, if I didn't feed my guys before 7 am I think they would climb out of the table and knife me in my sleep! I even wake up on weekends to feed them and then I go back to bed. I had to go to the store one morning to get them food and when I got back I swear I saw them hiding plans to kill me in my sleep if it ever happened again!

Wow! My lil man doesn't even get up until like 8:30! He wakes up and then slowly walks over to his bowl, while falling asleep and waking up along the way lol crazy how they are all different.
