Hello,
I have 2 female spur thighed tortoises (almost certain they are females!!), they are 4 years old and within the last couple of months one of them has been 'ramming' and trying to mate with the other one.
She only does it when they are out of their indoor enclosure.
Is this normal? Does anybody else's do this? What should we do? Should we leave them or seperate them when out of their enclosure?
We thought the ramming was a sign of dominance until the mating bit started!
Thank you in advance for your help
