Please can anyone offer some advice.... I have a marginated tortoise, that I had from a baby and is now 9. Today I heard noises which I thought was my dog whining, but when I looked it was my tortoise on top of a towel on the floor with his mouth open making this noise and humping the towel...what's this all about please.. | |

Hello, In the absence of a female, a towel is better than nothing !! You state "on the floor" - which suggests it happened in the house. Provide it with a [min.] 15sqm enclosure outside, so that it can thrive. Tom | |

Thank you for replying, he does actually spend as much time outdoors as the weather permits, but once he as had enough he makes his way back indoors, I give him the run of the garden...are you suggesting a proper enclosure outdoors for him... | |

That's good. You could provide him with his own house for overnight. Tom | |
