how many tortoises
Posted: 03/04/2012 by pottersx5

we have 2 8 yr old male horsefields - have been offered a pair of 2 yr old females. obviously would have to quarantine them for the rest of this year - but would they get on together? we do have a large outdoor enclosure so there are plenty of areas where they can get away from each other.
how many do other people keep together and what sexes??

Hi and Click and drag me down to the editor

The normal ratio is one male to three females, and that should keep a happy pen
