hi, please can anyone help with what is the best thing to do. Last week I bought 2 dwarf hermann tortoises, both male and will be 2 in october, bought them privately not from a pet shop. they have always been together.
The problem is one of them is constantly biting the other ones back legs and trying to mount him and if the other one gets away, he follows him and starts biting his legs again. He has not caused a injury (yet). What i need to know is does this mean they should not be kept together. They have moments when they can be together and still.
I just feel sorry for one who cant just relax without being bothered by the other one but at the same time if I seperate the ' naughty' one will be lonely to. and to seperate would mean selling one as I haven't got the room or the money to buy another house.
Why are they doing this ?
Any advice please?
Thanks
sharon
