Ok, I do know that you all say two tortoises SHOULD NOT live together as torts aren't particularly a sociable creature. But even though I only have one tortoise I think they can make friends with each other and they can like other tortoises. The other day I found a video of a tortoise falling on its back then from a couple of metres away his friend walked over and with the top of his shell he pushed his friend back onto his feet. They then walked off together , side by side. The video is called ' tortoise helps friend who's flipped over 'incase you want to watch it. I put a fake tortoise in Billy's enclosure and he almost sprinted ( I'm not kidding) up to it and gently patted his head on The other tortoises head. I thought this might be a case of "please get out of my territory" but later that day I took out the fake tort and Billy ran round his enclosure madly and stood up on his hind legs trying to get out. Please share any experiences you have had with two tortoises helping each other or generally just becoming best friends.
