Hello all,
My two Sulcata's have recently decided to confirm to me that they are definitely both male and it got me thinking. Does anyone have recent experience of having their males 'fixed' as you could a dog, in order to prevent aggression between them as they got older (they are currently both three - a little young to normally sex I gather, but they have both started repeatedly to flash their manhood's)?
I keep them separately, but it would be easier if they were able to share a space sometimes and I do not want to breed them, so I would be interested if anyone has experience of this and would recommend it or not.
I have read through some old threads on this, and it seemed to be a sensitive subject but those threads were also from 2007/2008 and so I wondered if things had changed at all. Given some of the earlier thread comments on this, I just want to clarify that I won't consider it if it is a risk to the tortoises, I just don't know anything about this topic.
