New one ?

[tortoiseowner101]

I have one male greek tortoise.
Is it okay to get another male to live with ?
The price in Jordan is cheap ! 2 dollars only !!!

Only do it if you have room to eventually house them separately. I bought my 2 Greeks together. They got along great for a year and a half - and then started biting and butting constantly. Now they can't even be outside together without fighting. I needed to split them up, which was not in the original plan. I won't say don't do it - it might work - but be prepared for it not to.

I want to house them together but when I knew they ram each other I will not get a new one.

TWO dollars? Seriously? I know it's almost certain to be wild-caught, but that's a crazy price!

Sure it's wild caught!
The price of one in the us gets a hundred in Jordan !!!

They're cheap cuz they're native to Jordan and found locally !

They don't sell it in pet stores.
Each Friday before 12 o'clock .
People gather in downtown to sell their pets .
A man at the back of his van with stuffed tortoises in a rice bag sells them.
He treats them in an inhumane way.
They always fall into the wrong clueless hands!
What such poor tortoises !

That's unfortunate to hear. I would also say be prepared to have two separate enclosures. Too bad you don't have a friend looking and you could help educate. Unfortunately either way this man will continue to sell and treat them bad whether you buy it or not.

That's the problem !
