Suggestions in keeping 2 redfoots together

[mrmojorisin]

Hey! new to this forum. Just moved in with my fiancé and his parents, they have a redfoot and mine is about 1-1 1/2 years old. My tortoise (mojo) is a lot larger. I'm confused if they can be kept together. They have been feeling each other out since last night. They did a little head bobbing, and havent really paid anymore attention to each other. Can anyone tell me if I should keep them apart? in the photo mojo is on the left and Cobi is on the right. I also think they may be too young to tell the sex but I can post more pictures later.

I keep three together with no problems . I also keep them outside in a 20/20 foot pen with hides and plants . But in the winter I keep them in a box that is 10/10 . So just keep an eye out for bullying. Red foots often live together in the wild .

RFs are generally less combative than some species, but that is no guarantee. I would house them separately, or get a third. Pair dynamics are often problematic.

From what ive read and seen people say, pairs can be an issue, usually it is recommended to have 3+ together. Being that one is bigger than the other, it may bully the smaller one. IMO, add a 3rd tort,

They may get along just fine. Monitor their behavior before considering changes.
