Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good day
I have two Hermanns, both roughly 9 years old males in good health.
My question is regarding their enclosure(s).
Imagine their enclosure(s) as one big rectangle, kind of like a book shape-wise, about 5m (~16ft) in length and 2,5-3m (~8-10ft) in width. In the middle of the rectangle is a 10-15cm thick stone wall, seperating it in two length-wise.
Each of them has their own half of the rectangle basically.
Now my question is: Are the two enclosures too close together? Will this cause my tortoises harm in the long run? (Due to stress caused by a rival living close by for instance)
I'm certain that they're aware of each other's presence, as they sometimes (maybe 1-2 a week) pace close to the wall or lean against/try to climb it. Otherwise they seem to be very relaxed and content.
Should their enclosures be moved apart completely or is this setup alright?
Greetings ?
