What other tortoises are you talking about? Each species should live separately from any other species and not live in pairs.
Give as much info about the other, enclosure, temps, etc as you can and include pictures, they help a lot.

I have a 3000 sqft back yard for 3 adult sulcata and 2 adult leopard tortoise. the space seems not the problem. There are lots of trees and hiding place and two separate enclosure for these tortoise during night time.
You've asked for our opinions, and here's mine. Either she's not ready (not big enough), or conditions are not right (other tortoise species living in her territory).
Totally agree with Yvonne. Not sure if you mean the sulcata and leopards are living together. If so, they shouldn't be. Sulcata are too large and more aggressive. If they are separated, and you only have two leopards, then you need to add more females to the one male or separate the male and female or he will try to breed her to illness or death which may already be the problem.
Hi! Thanks for coming for help here. Yes, the advice is right, the different species need to be kept separate, and the male and female of one species should be kept separate from each other until you think, after being advised by experts, they might be ready to breed. They don't live together in the wild, so being together all the time, if they are, is a "turn off" for the female and she may get hurt if the male is too aggressive and persistent with bullying her.
