I woke up and my tortoise was scratching the side of its cage so i took it out i fell asleep then i woke with a bite on my face...
A cage for a Russian should be min 1.25 meter wide and 2.25 meters long (roughly 4' by 8'). You got bit in the face because you're trying to snuggle with a wild animal. They are not domesticated animals like dogs or cats.Well my tort is about 2-3 inches and the cage is about 1 mmeter long so i dont think thats the problem, the only thing i wonder about is why did he bite my face
He was seeing if you were edible.Well my tort is about 2-3 inches and the cage is about 1 mmeter long so i dont think thats the problem, the only thing i wonder about is why did he bite my face
That's what I said thanks Tom for explaining it much more thoroughly.They sample things with their mouth. Many species will eat carrion in the wild. Your tortoise must have been testing to see if you were a big dead animal it could eat.
