I was recently at a reptile show and I noticed a Russian tortoise with a bearded dragon in the same enclosure! The owners claimed they tried separating them and the tortoise stopped eating for a year! Then they put them together again and the tortoise started gaining weight and was eating fine. So they were selling them together only. So if y'all are wondering why I posted this then I'll answer your question now. I was wondering if a Russian tortoise can actually go a year without eating and still be fine and not get sick or die! And second. Wouldn't the bearded dragon give the Russian sickness! And most of all! Wouldn't they fight/be aggressive towards each other! Because they were in a very small enclosure you would think they would be they would be very territorial. So if anyone can answer those questions then I would appreciate it a lot!
