Need a little advice...
My three toed box turtle, Taz, has decided living alone is not the way he wants to go. He insists on breaking into the redfoot enclosure outside. Once he gets in he just follows them around, or curls up and sleeps next to them. When I put him back in his enclosure, he paces, digs, climbs and generally terrorizes things until he finds another way out. This behavior is exactly why his enclosure is in the middle, that way when he "breaks out" he is not really out!
I am wondering if it would be so bad to just let them stay together outside? I am looking into getting him a box turtle friend, but they are hard to come by around here.
