Hi,
I have a 4 yr old med spur-thigh - Lemmy. When I acquired him he already had quite marked pyramiding due to lack of UV and poor diet, but he has always been very active.
I recently built some decking in my garden, and ever since, Lemmy has been spending large parts of the day aggressively butting it with his shell. He doesn't appear to be doing himself any damage, but I'm concerned that if he keeps it up he will. Also, it is quite anti-social and I can anticipate a complaint from the neighbours regarding the noise.
I know they do this to females, but I didn't think he'd be so stupid as to think the decking was a potential mate.
Any ideas why he is doing this? Will he stop? Any suggesitons?
Many thanks,
Harry
