We had a 5.8 Earthquake in Los Angeles Area today, and we observed that our 3 Sulcata's didn't come out of their home until after the earthquake hit. They are usually out around 7:30-8 AM. Wife called me at 1100 and during our discussion she mentioned that she had not seen them out yet and that they had not eaten the hibiscus branch I had cut for them. I was going to check on them when I was home for lunch. Earthquake hit at 1142 AM, and by 1200 they were all out, eating away at the hibiscus branch.
Has anyone else seen different behavior in their Tortoises prior to Earthquakes? Anyone in the LA area too notice anything different today?
We have friends that have two Calif. Desert Tortoises, and they stayed in their burrows most of the morning. They are not sure if they came out before the quake or not.
