I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I have two tortoises, one is about two years old and the other is older though we found him/her outside so I don't know the exact age. My younger one got sick a few weeks ago, RI, this was right about the time I let the bigger one in the garden. If it's a coincidence or not, I don't know, I'm clueless.
They found the same spot to hide under and I couldn't be sure if it's okay to keep them this way. I recently tried dividing the garden in half to give each their own space but my little one kept running away to that spot and ended up next to the older one. I switched their places and now the older one seems irritated. I arranged a spot much the same as the one they preferred but neither of them seems to like it.
Is it okay to keep them together? It's a pretty big space if the garden is not divided in half and I'm wondering if having them sleep in the same space is what might've gotten the little one sick in the first place. Is this possible? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Ps. I can't post a picture now because it's late here and I didn't have one that covers the whole garden.
