I am wondering when I soak my tortoise i stress them ? cause I need to pick them up , and they keep running try to get out the container , plus in the morning while they still sleeping when I pick them up to soak.
tortadise said:It's jus waking them up. It's not cold water is it? As long as they're active and eating well mine all are typical like this after the soak. Even the big monsters.

tortadise said:The thing with stars. If your male is already acting aggressive at that age it's going to drive him or both makes crazy and thats all they want to do when they get close to the females. I would soak them seperately and in about 5 more years when the females are ready to breed you can introduce them. I've had a horn dog male sri lanken do this. He stresses himself out when he sees the female.
