kind act

Aw, c'mon guys. Let's not assume that the tortoises belong to Leopard777. Give him/her the benefit of the doubt before attacking For one, it looks to me like the video was taken by some patrons at a Zoo, and for two, I haven't seen any posts by Leopard777 to indicate that he/she even owns large sulcatas.

CSI Ruthie on the case!! Lol! You do have a very good point.

This was the worst damage I have seen from ramming.

Tortoise ramming creates huge hole and open wound

I agree, there is nothing kind or cute about this behavior, it can very quickly deteriorate into life threatening.

And of course, it is males being males...

 

[Robyn@TRR]

Hmm, now there is another thread up at TRR from TortoiseForum about a female ramming a male.

Does this happen regardless of sex? I thought it was more a male act of aggression.

 

[Yvonne G]

Nope, its also a territorial thing. And females can be just as ruthless as males.

HAHA they can help each other , so cute!

I've heard them ramming things can also be deadly to household pets. Sad to say I had a chiapoo for 10 years and she passed on. My wife wanted to get another and I told her no because when I got my sully and made the decision to keep her was that she would sadly out live all my pets. I had to put my foot down and tell my wife no.
Does anyone think that sulcatas tolerate pets from growing up with them or maybe just because they don't feel as threatened cause they aren't of the shell type? Kinda how they tolerate us.
Is this sully playing or trying to ram this little Boston bull? (Witch is what kinda dog I have.) My sully acts like my dog doesn't exist. She will walk right over the dogs legs when the dog is asleep. The dog equally doesn't care about my tort. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=Py3zKGcPBIM&v=Py3zKGcPBIM&gl=US
I would assume aggression not playing. Not my pet just found this on utube.

hard to tell the animal behaviour in the short clip ,from my point of view it looks like playing or might be aggression , only the owner knows .

example of the video i posted above , it could be a one off incident , if your pets doesnt display such aggression in front of you , you wont even have a clue what happen unless you install cameras to moniter them 24/7

The dog is playing for sure. I have one and those dogs play play play. Lol Torts do to though as Soon as I get a utube account I'll film my tort doing what I assume is playing. I tap the side of her enclosure with my fingers and she always Comes after me. It's funny. At one time I thought it made her mad but I think it's curiosity because of something knocking.

do they help each other often ? [video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAFn1pxP-g4&feature=related[/video]

This is a very calm beat down!

I have seen 2 Sulcatas fight each other seriously.... it aint pretty and I dont think anyone would laugh and giggle at it like these girls did in the Video!

...and as for the little guy starting it... With torts... i think it is always the way! I know that when WalkingRock and Rocky went at it, it was ALWAYS Rocky who would "Puff-up" and charge WalkingRock , who was easily twice his size.

Wow nepolion complex! I don't want to see them fight. My wife couldn't understand how they could hurt a pet. I showed her walking rock and Bob and asked her what she think would happen if either one just walked over our 20 lbs dog let alone ramming her. She understands how they can hurt a dog if they wanted to now.
