It could be something else but I am pretty sure that my Tortoise scratches on the walls due to hunger. I always make sure that his water bowl is full. The temperature in the basking spot is usually 94-99f. My Tortoise is a Hermann Tortoise 3-4 years of age, and I am pretty sure he is a male. If he is scratching on the walls and then I give him food he automatically stops. I do not want to overfeed him though. I usually feed him at about 2:30pm. His lights go on at 7am and off at 8pm. When he scratches should I just give him food or not? Any responses are much appreciated
