Sex of your escapies

[dolfanjack]

For those of you who have lost their pets (and I’m sorry) were they males or females and did they have a companion of the opposite sex. My male Russian tortoise is always looking for ways to get out of the yard even though it’s large with plenty to eat. I’m hoping a female Russian in the yard will keep him occupied and resist the urge to roam. What do you think? Thanks in advance, Jack

Darya is the one I have that is most often trying to get out. She is female. (Russian.)

My littlest Redfoot, most likely female, is also always trying to climb out.

My male box turtle is the only other one that has ever actually gotten loose.
