I was very surprised when Yvonne said that almost every Desert Tort rescue she receives is a male, and that males also outnumber females in the wild. I wonder why that is?
Well, here's my opinion. Like most torts, you can keep several females with a male, but it's harder to keep more than one male (well I've heard it can be - I've never had an issue with this.) So when someone gets a female, they usually just hang on to her.
