rubbing on everything??

[jesst]

So this past week Zenna has been rubbing her hind end on everything including my hand. She will come running if my hand is in her enclosure and just rub back and forth against my hand, is this normal?? She has some pink along her growth lines and is growing at a very fast pace, could this cause her to become itchy?

Thanks

I often wonder what this action is. We call it bumming haha. Husband; "Clare, Phillips bumming the sofa again" lol I've noticed it's a last resort in trying to get into things, if he can't bulldoze his way through forward after several attempts, he'll try the backwards approach in this manor...

Interesting behavior. I have not seen this in tortoises.

She seems to enjoy it when she does it against my hand. It's just weird

When I brought Kiwi home, I was taking pictures and videos non-stop and I just happened to record this video. So for those that have not seen his sort of behavior here is an example Sadly he has not done it again. It was sooo cute!! P.S. that is my humidity/temp sensor hes rubbing on.

Sorry if it seems like I took over your thread. I think your theory may be right since when skin is healing it's regrowing and it is very itchy. Or maybe Zenna is trying to mark her territory including you enjoy it and post your video. We would love to see another cutie doing it

There is a similar video on YouTube called tortoise scratch dance you guys should look it up

I can imagine those shells getting quite itchy!
