Its my first time posting so sorry If i mess up.
I have a hermann's tortoise Named charlie, he is 7 years old and i got him after My parents partner moved in. Before, Charlie didnt get alot of attention, Where as I give him alot due to alot of spare time, And very recently, He has been getting more and more aggressive towards me. Before he came towards me but in the last 2 days he has been wriggling alot to get to me, Nodding his head a lot, If i place him on a surface where my hand is he will sprint extremely fast along the table going for my hand, Or my face, Anything that is me or anyone else, Charlies owner said that he had never been this active. If I place him back into his enclosure he will climb over all his rocks ect and basically go crazy trying to get to me. I know its because he thinks im food, I appreciate that but he is getting more and more aggressive and faster, Constantly opening his mouth towards me, He bit His old owner and nearly got me at one point. Like I said, I know this is normal for him to accociate me with food, But this much? I cant pick him up or even talk to him without him going crazy, Only if hes just woken up, But this bad? Is this level normal and is there anything at all I can do to simmer him down in terms of how aggressive he is towards me?
