Hi,
I have two 10-month old Hermans tortoises (Rille and Rumle), and I’ve recently noticed that Rumle has gotten kind of aggressive towards Rille. It actually almost looks like, Rumle is trying to mate white Rille – Climbs up on Rilles bag, with an open mouth, and tries to “hold on” to Rille. At times Rumle chases Rille around in their enclosure, for quite some time. Afterwards (the last week actually) Rille seems restless/agitated, wandering areound the edges of the enclosure, on and on...
Today I saw, for the first time, that Rumle also bites Rilles legs. Rumle has never bitten me, and doesn’t try to, when I put my hands down there.
Their enclosure is the right size, they are fed twice a day, they are (at least I think) not overfed/overgrown, both measuring 6.5 cm weighing 55/60 g (Rumle is the heavier). They cannot be maturing already, right?
Have any of you had the same problem? Or do you have any advice on what to do?
