So I work at a vet office (just a dog/cat one, mind you) and one of our technicians used to work with reptiles at another clinic. We were talking about tortoises, when I mentioned Viola, my solitary Redfoot. This made her raise a brow, and say "she's all alone? I always heard that Redfoots liked company, and do better in small groups. They're more 'social' than most tortoises." Well this made me a bit confused, as I hadn't heard such a thing, but then again, looking at most people here, it does seem like people tend to keep their Redfoots in small groups together.
Is this true? I always figured Redfoots were like Dwarf hamsters. Able to be housed together, but perfectly fine on their own. Viola doesn't seem very lonely or listless, but I suppose I thought I'd just get everyone's opinion.
Not that I wouldn't mind having another tortoise!!
