Hello! I need some help with our tortoise. He was given to me by a friend about 3 years ago, and he's about 9 years old. I think he is a Greek or Mediterranean tortoise. In the last couple years, he has been pretty aggressive, and I think he just needs a mate. It's gotten pretty bad, recently, to the point that any time he sees me coming to give him food, he runs up and tries to bite my fingers or ram his shell into my hand. Sometimes I try to hand feed him, but he goes for the fingers. I feel bad, because we are very busy, and don't have a lot of time to "play" with him. How do you play with a tortoise, anyhow? I try and keep his box interesting with different balls and things to look at... He just walks in circles and tries to dig himself out in the corners. Is he bored? Does he need more attention? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you for reading.
