Hello all,
Need some advice here. We bought a 2 year old cherry-head tort back in september. It had a bit of rough start but recently has become a very good eater and active. We just loved her and decided to expand and bought another one just yesterday who is only 2 months old. So it would appear that the older one is freaked out with this new addition. It walks up to the new one and starts moving its head side to side and up and down very quickly and backs away when the little one approaches it. Just now the older one got brave and tried to bite the little one. The little one carries on ambivalent to the presence of the older one.
We have a fairly large enclosure. It is a 2' x 3' glass terarrium.
Is the older one freaking out? Will it get used to the idea to the younger one?
Thanks
