Hi everyone,

I have a question I have a male spur thigh called spike and I am thinking of getting him a friend. Spike is 55 years oldish and I am not sure if he would like a friend as he has been on his own for at least 5 years and seems quite happy.

What would the best mix be i.e. male and a female, 2 males or 1 male and several females or leave well enough alone and let spike be.

Any help would be great

Many thanks

Tracy and Spike

Hi Tracy and Spike,

Torts don't feel emotions like us and in the wild they will live quite solitary lifes, just bumping into a mate by chance. They will have a 1 night stand then move one!

I have torts that do live alone quite happily and as spike is middle aged, I'm sure he quite likes his own company. Don't rush into finding hime a friend as you have Q proceedures to follow for a long time.
