hi i noticed my tortoise had her mouth wide open like when she yawns , but she does it about 4 or 5 times and tries to scratch her neck with her front foot , shes eating now, breathing fine , toilets all ok , had baths ,do you think she has just got a scratch in her throat or something stuck ...

hi thanks for your reply,i am waking the tired one the same time as the active one wakes up now , i let him walk around the main garden and house that seemed to keep him awake for longer , maybe he was just bored with the same indoor and outdoor run ,my dogs are a bit like that until they see...

hi its just the same what ever side,the biting one is just tired all the time until he sees the other one ,and the other one is constantly on the go,trying to climb , when he gets to the other one he just sits with it even when hes getting bitten or butted .
they are mediterranean spur thighs , indoor room temp is always between 22 and 24c and they can go under their heat lamp , i put them out on a good day here when its over 20c.

hi our tortoises have been together since we bought them last august ,not sure about the sex,was supposed to be boy and girl but ive seen very long bits come out of both , recently one of them has been really butting and biting the other , we have split the indoor and outdoor enclosures in half...
