I went to see a lady today who wanted some help with her new enclosure. She rescued 2 redfoots, well actually she rescued 1 then had the 2nd one dropped on her. One is a 12" female, and the other is 7" male. At the moment she has them separate. The female is in about a 4x6ft and male in a 4x4ft enclosure. When the new enclosure is done it will be around 8x10ft. Every time she tries to put them together the male is so aggressive to the female. Ramming and biting her limbs really hard. To point the female hisses and tries to run for cover fast. It's obvious the big female is scared. Needless to say they are separate. The owner wants to good by these torts and willing to spend some money on creating a good enclosure and I shall help.
I was hoping to give her one of my females to even up her small herd. I could give her a male and a female I had forced on me and take this pain in the *** male she has.
I've never seen a redfoot so aggressive. Then again I've never had an adolescent male yet.
Is the reason this young male is being so aggressive because he's going through his adolescent years and will he grow out of it?
