Hi,
I currently have a spur thigh tortoise (aka Greek) and he’s apparently part of the testudo species too (he’s called Bolt) , I have been thinking about getting him a female friend following him getting a bit too friendly with some rocks in the garden... I’ve read a post warning against this carefully, however the posters tortoises lived inside and Bolt lives out side all year round with access to the whole garden .... hibernating throughout winter in my shed, do you think the fact that Bolt and the female tortoise (if bought/adopted) would be ok together as they have the whole garden and that there’s therefore perhaps more space for them to avoid each other if that’s what they wanted to do.
I would be really interested to hear what you all think.
Stay safe,
Jacob
