Hi! My name is Meagan. I recently moved in with my partner and we now share a ~5 year old Hermann’s tortoise. His name is Colonel Reginald, Reggie for short. I have a 3 year old kitty, Berlioz, that loves him and being in his enclosure. She doesn’t attack him, or bother him at all but we are constantly chasing her out. We haven’t had the opportunity to buy new materials to adjust his enclosure to keep her out, which we will but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if her going to lay with him will make him sick or cause harm/health issues? He doesn’t seem to mind. I’ve found him laying next to her both asleep twice now but I worry her fur might cause respiratory issues? She doesn’t use the enclosure for a litter box she seems to only want to lay in the warmth and with him. Looking for advice for a first time tortoise owner. Thank you! ?
