The Sudans are great! They really don't have an enclosure, in the AM when they come out their nite box they go in the yard (completely secure) for the day. They do as they please all day. The only issue I have had was peewee decided he wanted to see how my koi live and he started climbing the rock to my koi pond, easy fix, I fenced it off so they can't get to it. So they run the yard all day, usually they all go their own directions but from time to time they will hang together. When I catch them together I watch them, I watch for any signs of bullying, they do fine. No one is biting, ramming, no head bobbing (heard on tv that's a territorial movement in wild tortoises) nothing, they always eat their mazuri/vitamin/calcium mixture together, I just put out one big pile and they share fine. I have gathered weeds and piled on one their concrete slabs every morning for the last couple mornings and they share that fine as well. In the evening, when they start slowing down, usually I catch one kinda digging in a corner, I know it's bedtime and I put them over in the quads outside enclosure, where their nite box is, they usually go straight to their box. Usually single file line, one at a time, I watch 1 tortoise butt disappear at a time. No problems. Now last week I did rotate them, one day I would put one of them in the quads outside enclosure for the day. They were eating all clover and nothing else so I wanted to kinda control what they had access to. I only put one if them in at a time and it's 8'x12'. I am working on converting an old yard barn into their permanent "winter" house. I have really studied those on here, Yvonne or Maggie (can't remember which) had some great pics of hers and from what she describes her weather is worse then mine so it should work well for them. They do fine together in their box but I still plan on watching them for the first little bit when they start using their shed, if I need to section it off, I will. I also got Marv face all trimmed up. He seems much happier now when he eats. Nothing is hung, aggravating him. Lol. He gobbles the stuff down. He literally is like a machine when it comes to his grass and weeds. Just to help him keep his face trimmed down I give them a big pile of weeds every morning on their concrete slab plus their supplement/mazuri mixture twice a week. They do hate their soaks tho. The whole time all three are attempting to get out. Marv rarely messes up his water but the two smaller ones, lord the turds I scoop out. Lol. But all in all they r good. They seem happy and Marv actually follows me around a lot, will eat from my hand now, he even let me rub on him for a good long while today without pulling his head back from me, I think we are making progress on that subject!!
