There are four male tortoises and three females living in my backyard. The backyard is separated into two yards with one of them having a greenhouse and large yard while the other has basically been my backyard with no tortoises in it. The greenhouse and yard housed one male and the three females, then when the weather warmed up enough for the other three males to have to be put outside, the only place for them was the backyard where they have lived not quite so peacefully for the past two months. I realized I was going to have to separate them before something bad happened, as the pushing, circling and shoving has gotten a bit worse this past week. So I've ordered lumber and supplies from Lowe's which were delivered today.
My friend is coming to town this week-end to help me partition off the back yard and to build two divided night houses. It's not easy to get the whole area in one picture, so I've taken two, with me standing in the same spot, just moving the camera. Here's the area I'm working with, and I'll update this thread as work progresses:
